Coby White nearly achieved a triple-double, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 115-108 overtime victory against the Charlotte Hornets. Despite Miles Bridges' strong performance for the Hornets, the Bulls ultimately prevailed thanks to White's contributions and a late surge in overtime.
Coby White narrowly missed his first career triple-double, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Torrey Craig scored 18 with five 3-pointers after halftime as the Chicago Bulls held on to beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-108 in overtime Monday night. Nikola Vucevic added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls (15-18). Miles Bridges had 31 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists for the Hornets (7-25), who've lost 16 of 17.
Trailing by 3 in regulation, Bridges missed a corner 3 to tie it and Vucevic was fouled. But the Bulls center missed both free throws, giving Charlotte another chance. This time, Bridges connected on a leaning 3-pointer with 2 seconds left to send the game into OT. The extra period was all Chicago. The Bulls raced to an eight-point lead as White scored on a drive and Vucevic and Craig knocked down 3s. The Ball brothers matchup never materialized. LaMelo missed the game wrist soreness.
