Coby White led the Chicago Bulls to a convincing 124-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, securing their first win in back-to-back games since December. The Bulls' season is now halfway through, and despite a tumultuous start, they remain in contention for an Eastern Conference play-in spot.
Coach Billy Donovan views Game 42 as just another challenging game in a grueling schedule, rather than a milestone. "They just keep coming," he said, highlighting the team's ability to bounce back from setbacks. The coach emphasized the importance of mental and physical focus during this time of year, when games come at an increasingly rapid pace.
For Coby White, who scored 24 points with seven three-pointers, finding his rhythm is crucial. Due to calf issues, he isn't able to play both games of back-to-backs, so he's taking it one game at a time. "It's very important for me, especially getting back into the flow of things," White said.
The Bulls' balanced offense was on full display, with seven players scoring in double figures. The team also showed improved ball movement and defensive activity, which proved too much for the Nets to handle despite Michael Porter Jr.'s absence from the game.
Coach Donovan praised his team's performance, saying they shared the ball well and generated good shots. The Bulls' ability to thrive in clutch situations is a testament to their resilience, with a 14-11 record in 25 such games.
Despite the win, White acknowledged that not every shot falls. "We got a lot of the same looks that we got last game, and tonight they just fell," he said. Nonetheless, the Bulls' victory marked a welcome return to form for the team, and with their next game just around the corner, they'll look to build momentum going into the All-Star break.

he's not gonna rush back from those calf issues, so props for being responsible about his body. coach donovan's right tho, this team's all about finding that rhythm and adapting to the grind of the season... they're like a well-oiled machine (minus the oil, lol) 
7 players in double digits is sick, gotta keep the momentum going after this win 
. The Bulls have been through some tough times this season and it’s awesome to see them bounce back like this 
. The fact that they can play well when everyone is contributing is a great sign for the rest of the season. And I love how Billy Donovan is keeping things in perspective, not making too big of a deal about their win 
. It’s all about staying focused and playing one game at a time. The ball movement and defense were on point tonight, and it’s awesome to see the team thriving when everyone is playing well 
. Now, let's hope they can keep this momentum going into the All-Star break! 
️
. their balanced offense is looking fire 
. can't wait to see them build on this momentum going into the all-star break 
so I think what's really impressive about this Bulls team is how they're bouncing back from all the ups and downs, you know? like they can't have a bad game every single time. Coby White's been working through his calf issues, but it's clear he's getting closer to being back at 100%. 
I remember watching Bulls games on old VHS tapes back in my day... you know, 90s, no internet or streaming 
. Coach Donovan's got them playing smart ball, too - all that focus on mental and physical training is paying off 
. Still can't believe they're competing for an Eastern Conference spot... seems like just yesterday they were struggling to find their footing 
. But hey, you know what? It's awesome to see them bounce back from setbacks and show some resilience 
the Bulls' offense looks super balanced and that's awesome. can't say the same for the Nets, they got destroyed without Michael Porter Jr. 
now he's gonna be back in the mix which is cool i guess lol what a relief for the team that they finally got a win after all those loses, i mean its not like they're gonna change their season with one game right? but still i feel bad for coby white cuz calf injuries are no fun 
anywayz at least they got the w and now they can try to build momentum before the all star break
and the Bulls' offense was so balanced 
it's like they had a new game plan or something 
saying that every game is just another challenge, but I think he's hiding something 
the way the team came out strong and showed improved defense is not easy to achieve 
missing the game? Is he injured or something? 
can't they just have a good time playing basketball for once?
