The San Antonio Spurs went into Chicago with one main purpose: to end a 4-game losing streak.? The combination of Tim Duncan inside and Tony Parker having his way with the Bulls’ defense was simply too much as the Spurs routed the Bulls 102-80 Thursday night at United Center.
The duo of Duncan and Parker? sent the Spurs on a big 22-4 run?that opened up a 53-33 lead late in the first half; Chicago shot only 6-of-17 in the second quarter while San Antonio shot 13-of-22 to take a 55-37 halftime lead.? Parker continued to embarrass the Bulls’ defense in the third quarter to the point that the Spurs had a sizable, 74-47 lead; by that time, the route was on.
San Antonio’s leading scorer was Parker with 23 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, while Duncan?scored 22 with 10 rebounds, an assist and 3 blocked shots.? Chicago was led by Luol Deng with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, while Drew Gooden scored 16 with 4 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot.? San Antonio (45-23) now travels west to Sacramento to face the Kings Friday, while Chicago (27-41) makes the short trip down I-65 to take on the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
