Bulls vs. Spurs: Score and Twitter Reaction from Christmas Day 2016

Despite some shaky moments, the San Antonio Spurs took care of business on Christmas Day.

The team squandered a 20-point first-half lead but fought back to earn a 119-100 home win over the Chicago Bulls.

LaMarcus Aldridge was the star of the day with 33 points on 15-of-20 shooting from the field, plus nine rebounds. He did most of his damage right out of the gate with 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting in the first quarter.

Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News noted the change in aggressiveness:

Ever since Popovich got on Aldridge to demand the ball more, he’s been ballin… just needed a push #Spurs

Kawhi Leonard helped out as well with 25 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals.

The team simply couldn’t miss from the field, making 56.5 percent from the field and 9-of-18 from three-point range.

Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN joked about the Spurs being underrated on a day where the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors stole headlines:

Spurs out here on like… “you guys can keep on forgetting about us… we’re still spurs good.”
