Can you smell what Coby White is cooking?

White continued his stellar scoring spree as the Chicago Bulls claimed another big win over a Western Conference contender, repelling the Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets, 129-119, Tuesday, March 25.

The six-year guard exploded for 37 points, the third-straight game he scored 35 markers or more on top of five threes and four rebounds.

Josh Giddey came up with yet another all-around game of 26 markers, nine assists, and eight boards for the Bulls, who also scored 146-115 rout of the LA Lakers in their last outing.

With yet another victory, Chicago improved to 32-40 to hang on the ninth place in the East Play-in territory.

Jamal Murray took the scoring cudgles with 28 points to topscore for Denver, who played without Jokic for the fifth-straight game due to a left ankle impingement and slid to 45-28 that is still good for the no. 3 in the West.

They are now 4-7 without the three-time MVP in the line-up this season .

The Bulls return home to host the LA Lakers (43-28) while the Nuggets face the Milwaukee Bucks (40-30) next.
