The Chicago Bulls played valiantly against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. But even if their two best players, Josh Giddey and Coby White had played, the Bulls still likely would have lost.

Chicago built another double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, only to be outscored 32-19 in the game’s final 12 minutes in a 121-117 loss to the Spurs in front of 21,672 fans at the United Center.

The Bulls had no answer for star forward Victor Wembanyama, who drilled back-to-back threes on Nikola Vucevic to take a 117-114 lead with less than a minute remaining.

Neither White nor Giddey would have made a difference against Wemby in the stretch.

Following the game, Vucevic told reporters he had no chance off guarding Wembanyama.

“He’s, what, 7-5? There’s not much you can do,” Vucevic said, via K.C. Johnson of CHSN. “I’m not sure how much he even sees me.”

Through a now three-game losing stretch, the Bulls had similar answers agaisnt Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Giddey played in both of those games.

Vucevic had a warning for the Bulls front office, suggesting the current roster doesn’t have the firepower to compete late in games against stars in the association.

“They’re the best players in the league, and they’re going to do what they do,” Vucevic said via Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times. “Some games we’re going to be able to limit them. When they get it going, I don’t think there’s a whole lot you can do.

“Even against teams that have those great players we’ve played well. (Monday) we had a chance, Cleveland we had a chance as well. Just didn’t close it down the stretch.”

The Bulls had the Eastern Conference’s best record before entering Friday’s game against the Bucks. Chicago is now 6-4 and is tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for the conference’s sixth best record.

The Bulls are looking like a Play-In Tournament team because they don’t have star power.

Chicago fans have seen this story before. Maybe the Bulls will try something different and trade Vucevic to begin to take the necessary steps to gain a game-changing player.
