Shortly after the ceremony that saw the Chicago Bulls retire Derrick Rose's No. 1 jersey, the United Center was the scene of another great basketball moment that night. The Illinois franchise hosted the Wemby Spurs, and we tell you right away, the last quarter is worth its weight in peanuts.
Wemby smashes Bulls in first half
The first period between the Bulls and the Spurs is a real purge for Chicago fans. The locals returned to the locker room trailing 65-50, and for good reason, Victor did some Wembanyama again. Eight counterattacks in total, including the humiliating one on Nikola Vučević.
And if you're thinking that Wemby is only about securing his basket, then you must fall asleep as soon as the Spurs bring the ball up. Such painful versatility.
A victory that could not escape them, and yet
San Antonio is up to 19 points ahead, and 15 points before the start of the fourth quarter. We then say to ourselves that the Texans will unfortunately do well in the standings, but that was without counting on their management at the end of the match. Little by little, the Spurs collapse, and the Bulls catch up. Then what was supposed to happen happened; Coby White scored two fatal baskets at the end of the match, including a dunk over Wemby's head. The leader allows Chicago to beat the Spurs on the post. Defeat 114-110. Delicious.
This decomposition on the floor offers the Spurs a sublime operation in their quest for play-ins. Come on, just one more effort to get out of this abominable top 10 in the Western Conference.
