The Spurs got off to a blistering start and never looked back as the beat up on the Chicago Bull 104-96 on Tuesday night.  San Antonio scored 38 of the game’s first 52 points to take a 24-point lead after one-quarter and ended all suspense of it being a close game.

The Bulls were led by D.J. Augustin who finished with 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting to go along with four assists.  He was followed by Jimmy Butler who totaled 23 points and six rebounds.  Chicago also got a solid game from Joakim Noah who put up 13 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two blocks.

Fredette played his most minutes in a Bulls uniform to this point and was a +17 in 7:47 on the floor.  Jimmer finished with five points on 2-of-4 shooting from the field including a make on his only 3-point attempt.  He also added two rebounds and an assist.

The Bulls are back on the floor on Thursday night when James Harden and the Houston Rockets come to town.
