Chicago Bulls: Is Coby White ready for clutch situations?
Coby White scored 26 points and the Chicago Bulls beat Utah 111-97 on Monday night, sending the Jazz to their 10th straight loss.

White, who shot 9 of 19 from the field and 2 for 10 from long distance, was helped by 6-for-7 shooting from the line. Tre Jones added 18 points, 12 assists and three steals as the Bulls won for the fifth time in six games. Kevin Huerter and Matas Buzelis each scored 17. Dalen Terry chipped in with 11 points as six Bulls scored in double figures.

Keyonte George and Lauri Markkanen each scored 16 points for Utah, which last won on Feb. 28, in a 117-116 victory over Minnesota. Jordan Clarkson added 14 points and Brice Sensabaugh 13.

The Bulls turned a three-point lead into a 13-point advantage with a 10-point run in the first quarter. White scored 14 points in the opening quarters as the Bulls led 54-53 at the break.

Buzelis’ 3-pointer with 8:11 left in the third quarter put Chicago ahead for good.

Jazz: Lauri Markkanen was 1 for 8 from 3-point range, part of rough shooting night for the team from deep. The Jazz went 9 for 42 from beyond the arc.
