Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the turning point was a coaching decision.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMikal Bridges was subbed out with eight minutes nine seconds left in the third quarter and sat the rest of the way. I'm tearing up, because that is selfless.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFour for eighteen from three.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRight, so the team went on a comeback while he watched from the best seat in Chicago, and Norman Powell missed a potential game-tying three in the closing seconds.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI'd say the bench won it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm calling it a strategic seat upgrade, and it gets ten out of ten from me.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine-for-33 on the season, and he finished the night with zero missed shots.
