On top of that, Chicago's bench provided significant support by contributing a substantial number of bench points: they added up to be more than half-a-hundred (54). The team's efficiency was evident throughout each quarter as they maintained consistent scoring and ended each period with no less than twenty-nine points.


While Utah did have moments where they shone — particularly in making seven out of ten fast break attempts — it wasn't enough to counteract Chicago's dominance throughout most aspects of this game. Despite having seven blocks and drawing eighteen fouls against them, Utah struggled to keep up with Chicago's pace.
