What happened: Nic Claxton recorded a two-way sequence against San Antonio, turning a block into an and-one finish at the opposite rim. The sequence produced three points in transition following the defensive stop.

Why it matters: The defensive sequence signals interior stability for Claxton, who locked in No. 9 with the Bulls following an offseason trade. Chicago has sought reliable rim protection and paint scoring to steady its frontcourt rotation.

What to watch: Chicago looks to build momentum in its frontcourt rotation as the regular season schedule continues.
