On Monday night, the Bulls started slowly against a middle-of-the-pack San Antonio Spurs team in front of 18,886 fans at the United Center. The Spurs appeared to be pulling away from Chicago early in the contest. San Antonio took a 65-50 lead into halftime.

After a third quarter that was back and forth, the Bulls didn’t appear to have enough momentum to make a run at the Spurs. Per ESPN analytics, with 11:20 left in the fourth quarter and San Antonio up 97-84, the Spurs had a 97.8% chance of winning Monday night’s game.

Then the Bulls got hot, going on a 15-5 run to make it 102-99 with 6:32 to play. Chicago would continue to chip into the lead, eventually taking a 111-110 lead via a layup by Coby White with 47 seconds left on the clock. The Bulls would prevail with a 114-110 win to improve to 17-19 on the season.
