Coby White: First rookie with 3 straight 30-point games as a reserve

The Bulls rookie now has the most 30-point games by a rookie this season and they’ve all occurred over his last three performances.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White recorded his third straight 30-point game on Tuesday night as the rookie scored a career-high 35 points in a 124-122 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

White became the first rookie in NBA history to score at least 30 points in three consecutive games off of the bench.

White has totaled 101 points over his last three games with the Bulls and now has the most 30-point games this season by a rookie, topping the two by Zion Williamson, Kendrick Nunn and Eric Paschall.

White finished by shooting 13-of-21 from the field in the loss, including 6-of-9 from 3-point range. He also added seven assists, six rebounds and three assists.
