Game Highlights

The Chicago Bulls started strong in the first quarter by scoring 33 points but faced challenges as the game progressed. Zach LaVine stood out for the Bulls with an impressive performance, scoring 30 points and contributing three assists. His efforts were supported by Nikola Vucevic's all-around play; Vucevic added 13 points, eight rebounds, and led defensively with four steals.
