Before Monday’s 114-110 Chicago Bulls win over the San Antonio Spurs, Coby White had attempted only two dunks this year. But in the final 30 seconds, he had no choice.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White threw down an emphatic dunk on the San Antonio Spurs' 7-foot-3 phenom Victor Wembanyama on Monday night.
With one rim-shaking dunk, Chicago's Coby White put himself on a short list of those who have challenged Victor Wembanyama and told the tale
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White threw down an emphatic slam over San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama.
San Antonio Spurs led by as many 15 points in the fourth quarter of Monday's game, but found itself on the wrong end of a 114-110 loss to the Chicago Bulls.
Alas, Wembanyama, the far-and-away front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, can make titans look like Spud Webb. The Spurs’ second-year stud did not block the unblockable shot. Instead, he pulled off something more impressive.
The Bulls outscored the Spurs 32-15 in the game's final quarter as Chicago rallied from a 79-60 second-half deficit. After the Bulls trailed 97-82 early in the fourth quarter, White gave Chicago its first lead of the game by beating Wembanyama with 47.1 seconds remaining.
Dunking on Victor Wembanyama is not an easy thing to do, especially if you're almost a foot shorter than him. Zach LaVine noted after the game that the Bulls had been joking about trying to dunk on him, and Coby White was actually able to pull it off.
Coby White made a go-ahead layup with 47 seconds left, and the Chicago Bulls topped Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 114-110.
The Spurs are looking for their first win over the Bucks since November 2022 and looking for their first win in Milwaukee since October 2021. San Antonio will have to get it done
