The Spurs' defensive rating of 112.4 held the Bulls to just 19 points in the fourth quarter after Chicago had generated 38 in the second, a collapse that sealed the outcome. San Antonio's balanced playmaking with 30 assists and 47 rebounds outpaced Chicago's 29 assists and 45 rebounds, while both teams recorded 10 steals. The Spurs' 15 turnovers against 12 for Chicago did little to derail their offensive efficiency of 116.5, enough to overcome the Bulls' late-game attempts. The road victory positions San Antonio favorably in the Western Conference standings.
