ANALYSIS

Chicago’s league-leading pace (104.5) and transition-heavy offense—highlighted by a recent season-high 38 fastbreak points—are primed to exploit a Utah unit ranking 30th in Defensive Rating (119.8). With Tre Jones entering in elite form after a career-high 34-point performance and the Jazz struggling through a 5-13 road record, we expect the Bulls to dominate a defense allowing a league-high 126.9 points per game.
Key Data
Pace: 104.5, Utah Def Rating: 119.8, Net Rating: -4.2

OUTCOME

Bulls 128 - Jazz 126
Nikola Vucevic's 35 points provided the Bulls with a reliable interior presence that Utah could not match without Lauri Markkanen. Chicago survived a career-high 43-point performance from Bryce Sensabaugh by winning the turnover battle and executing in clutch moments.
