Jury is still out, but I'd say Maxime is correct here. No Steph Curry this Friday when the Spurs play Golden State is highly possible.
Final: Spurs 124, Bulls 119
San Antonio uses a strong second half to defeat Chicago and win their 10th straight. Spurs join the Celtics and Lakers at an NBA-best 10-2. #PorVida

Mitch called for the same play of Bryant rolling to the rim and it was the same result: A CB score.
For those who claim Mitch Johnson doesn't call plays.
Spurs up 13 points with 4:28 left in regulation. Second half has been belt to ass for San Antonio, who is outscoring the Bulls 58-31.
End of 3Q: Spurs 90, Bulls 89
San Antonio outscores Chicago 34-19 in the period and rallies to take a one-point lead into the final frame. Let's see if the Spurs can deliver a knockout blow early.
Wemby 22 pts, 5 reb, 3 blk
Fox 17 pts, 8 ast, 3 stl
Harper 14 pts, 8 ast

Spurs lead 88-84 and are outscoring Chicago 32-14 in the 3Q. Bulls' shooting was 85% and has now cooled down to 62%. Yes, 62% is considered "Cool down" 😂
Don't look now, but the Spurs are off and running to start the second half. San Antonio opens the 3rd on a 7-0 run as Tiago Splitter calls timeout. Chicago's lead was 22 and it's down to seven.

Halftime: Spurs 56, Bulls 70
Chicago's shot a sizzling 65% in that first half as they take a 14-point lead into the second half. San Antonio will need to be better defensively to start the 3rd but did close the 2Q on an 8-2 run.
Fox 17 pts, 6 ast
Wemby 15 pts, 4 reb

Wemby and Keldon just stood there and watched Chicago grab that offensive board. That's the lack of effort the Spurs are displaying right now.
The Bulls are shooting 25-for-30 in the game at 83%. That's just freaking insane. Tip of the cap to Chicago.
End of 1Q: Spurs 29, Bulls 41
San Antonio allows a season-high 41 points in that opening quarter as the Bulls shot 85% in that opening frame. Coaching staff can't be happy with that defensive effort.
Fox 11 pts, 2 ast
Champagnie/Wemby 6 pts

Chicago on a 14-2 run has Mitch Johnson needing a timeout. Little effort from the guys on defense and that's not a great way to start.

Mitch Johnson on Devin Vassell missing his second straight game with adductor tightness: "He's improving but not quite ready."
He added Vassell is "day-to-day".

Remember when Spurs fans were furious he was traded on Draft night? #PorVida
Rob Dillingham is signing into the NBA G League, sources say, where the former lottery pick is expected to join the Westchester Knicks, depending on the waivers process.
