It didn’t matter that it was possibly the greatest night in Chicago Bulls guard Coby White’s career.
White led the Bulls with 42 points in a 131-116 route of the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the Play-In Tournament. The points would be a career-high, but Play-In stats do not count.
White admitted he is counting the performance. But he is officially left to relish in the victory with his teammates, one of whom took a moment to celebrate White even though he was not part of the win.
“COBY! On April 17, LaVine shared a special performance on X, tagging White in the post.
White made three of his seven attempts from beyond the arc and shot 71.4% from the field. In addition, he had zero turnovers, two steals, nine rebounds, and six assists.
Using the performance as a springboard, the Bulls’ social media team made White’s case for Most Improved Player. With 19.1 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds this season while shooting 37.6% from three-point range, White set career highs.
