Tony Parker led the way with 23 points and Tim Duncan had 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Spurs ended a four-game skid. The Spurs have not lost five in row with Duncan on the team.

Parker scored 10 points in the second quarter as the Spurs went on a 22-4 run to put the game way out of reach at 55-37 at half. Parker and Duncan took the fourth quarter off. The Bulls, meanwhile, shot just 6-for-17 in the second quarter. The Spurs hit 13 of 22 shots in the second period.
