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.
