Coby White leads Bulls to victory with 20 points in first career start

White proved he belonged in the starting lineup on Tuesday after recording his fourth straight 20-point game.

Coby White scored 20 points, five assists and five rebounds in his first career start on Tuesday night to lead the Chicago Bulls to a108-103 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

White shot 7-of-17 from the field, including 2-of-7 from 3-point range in 38 minutes of work in the win. The first-round pick scored nine points alone in the second quarter to put the Bulls up by two points at the end of the first half.

White recorded his fourth consecutive 20-point game on Tuesday as he has accomplished that feat in eight out of his last nine games. He turned in a couple of highlight-reel plays, including a nasty dribble move against Andre Drummond that left the veteran center in the dust.

After coming off of the bench in the first 64 games of the season, White finally earned his first career start and proved he belonged with his performance against the Cavaliers.
