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.

Dalen Terry chipped in with 11 points as six Bulls scored in double figures.

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.
