With the Bulls clinging to a one-point advantage and less than 20 seconds remaining, White seized the moment. Driving to the basket, the 6'5" guard fearlessly challenged the 7'3" Wembanyama, delivering a poster-worthy dunk that sealed the Bulls' 114-110 victory.

White, who finished the game with 23 points, four assists, and four steals, later explained his decision to attack the rim: "I knew if I attempted a layup or finger roll, he would swat it away. I had to go for the dunk, especially to extend our lead to four. I was determined to secure those points."
