Bulls Defeat Nets; Giddey's Triple-Double Shines

Josh Giddey achieved his first triple-double of the season, recording 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 128-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. This marked Giddey's 12th career triple-double and was highlighted by a dominant third quarter where the Bulls outscored the Nets 36-22. Nikola Vucevic contributed significantly with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while rookie Matas Buzelis added 20 points off the bench. The Nets, missing key player Cam Johnson due to injury, suffered their third consecutive loss despite Dariq Whitehead's 18 points. Chicago's victory was bolstered by superior shooting and rebounding, while Brooklyn struggled with a 40% shooting performance. The win helps the Bulls recover from a recent slump, improving their home record and overall standing.
