It wasn't always pretty, but the Spurs win.
The [Spurs] team shot just 40.9 percent from the field and was 1 of 12 on 3-point shooting, but had 52 rebounds and made plays off of Chicago's 20 turnovers.
...and...
Aside from the five-time All-Star, the Spurs struggled to get anyone going on offense, at least in the first half. The team failed to hit a 3-pointer, sticking to paint work and mid-range shots. Much of this didn’t work, either. Chicago wasn’t playing great and the Spurs still got off shots, but nothing fell.
On the Bulls side, Lauri Markkanen looked impressive. He gave Pau Gasol fits throughout the night, using his fresher legs to get around the 37-year-old and find his way to the rim. It’s a problem for not just Saturday night but the rest of the season. Once the Spurs start facing teams that consistently roll out smaller, more athletic lineups, Gasol will struggle to find the court.
Markkanen made an impression.
