On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls survived a fourth-quarter collapse to stave off an embarrassing loss (and a career night from Brice Sensabaugh) to a blatantly tanking Utah Jazz, riding Nikola Vucevic ‘s season-high 35-point night to a 128-126 win. Coby White , back on the roster and in the starting five, had yet another shaky night as he tries to find his rhythm after a calf injury.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down.
