The Bulls' offense went OFF today in the team's third consecutive win, a 152-150 victory over the Hawks. Here are all of the stats, season-bests and more from the game:
- The Bulls' 152 points scored are their most in a game since 2019, when they scored 168 against Atlanta in 4OT.
- The Bulls' 152 points scored in regulation are tied for the second-most in a game in franchise history. Chicago scored 155 against Phoenix in 1990.
- Nine Bulls players scored 10+ points for the fourth time in franchise history. The Bulls previously had nine players score in double figures against Toronto in 2021, against Atlanta in 1971 and against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1966.
- The Bulls' 41 assists are their most in a game this season, and just the third time the team has tallied 40+ assists in a game this century. They had 41 assists against the Lakers in March and 42 assists against Milwaukee in 2008.
- Matas Buzelis' 28 points are a season-high, and just shy of his career-high of 31. He posted back-to-back 20-point games for the first time as a pro and also made a career-high seven threes.
- The Bulls' 83 points in the first half are a franchise record. They scored 86 points in the second half against Phoenix in 1990, so Chicago's effort on Sunday did not set a franchise record for any half of a game, just the first.
- The Bulls shot a season-high 57.6% overall and 47.6% from three-point range.
