The point guard is without a doubt in the best stretch of his six-year NBA career as he set a career-high for points scored in a half during the victory against the Kings and also now ranks third in franchise history for three-pointers made. White has averaged 20 points a game this season and is shooting .441 from the field as well.
If White can keep this incredible stretch going, along with more great performances from Giddey and Buzelis, the Bulls could end up doing some damage in the play-in tournament, and could potentially get into the NBA playoffs.
The team looks to win their third straight game Monday night against the Denver Nuggets.
