Spurs control Bulls, 113-121.

Jeremy Lin had a nice showing against Chicago.
The visiting Chicago Bulls may have taken a 2-PT lead at one moment, but there was never any doubt the Spurs would emerge victorious, going up by 10 after the 1st Quarter despite losing the second, the only quarter in which Chicago outscored San Antonio. Both teams shot well in a pleasant basketball game that tallied 57 assists, the Bulls shooting 49% and the Spurs 58%. Both teams combined for 23 made shots from the perimeter, but it was San Antonio owning the paint 56-34 and the fast break 23-17.

Brandon Ingram couldn't quite nail the dagger for the home crowd, but finished with 18 points as did Jeremy Lin in his best game so far this season. Timofey Mosgov devoured the glass with 15 points and 16 rebounds. Dejounte Murray danced on Khris Dunn for 14 points dishing five assists for good measure. Avery Bradley and Taurean Prince combined for 25 points, as Bradley whipped 6 assists.

Jarrett Allen looked solid with 9 points & 5 rebounds, as Joe Harris banged in two 3PTers.

Zach LaVine had an impressive game for 25 points, hitting a trio of three-pointers. Otto Porter notched 19 points with 5 steals. Dunn had 12 points with 7 assists. Wendall Carter Jr., Tomas Satoransky & Lauri Markannen combined for 29 points and 17 rebounds.
