Pops for 23 off bench White ended with 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes off the bench before fouling out of Thursday's 126-109 loss to New Orleans. Impact The third-year guard had his best scoring performance since he rained 31 points and six made threes down on the Kings in a start Feb. 16, and his best effort coming off the bench since hitting for 24 against the Rockets on Dec. 20. He's been inconsistent all season -- he scored a total of seven points in the Bulls' prior two games, shooting 1-for-8 from beyond the arc and 3-for-15 from the floor -- but with DeMar DeRozan out Thursday and battling a hip injury, and Zach LaVine also playing through a knee issue, White may need to keep coming up big if Chicago is going to avoid falling down the standings.
