The Chicago Bulls ended their two-game losing streak with a 122-112 victory against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, fueled by the dynamic trio of Coby White, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic.
Nikola Vucevic recorded a team-high 29 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and six three-pointers on 11-for-18 shooting. Coby White had 25 points, four rebounds, four assists, and five three-pointers on 9-for-14 shooting. Zach LaVine added 25 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, and seven three-pointers on 9-for-19 shooting.
According to StatMamba, White, LaVine, and Vucevic became the first trio in Chicago Bulls history to each have at least 25 points and five three-pointers in the same game. They’re also the seventh trio in NBA history to accomplish this, per KC Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network.
This was a huge bounceback performance for Coby White, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic. During their 143-107 loss against the Houston Rockets on Sunday, the trio combined for only 32 points and 4-for-10 from three-point land.
