Bulls Show Fight but Fall Short Late

Chicago received steady production across the roster, including a balanced performance from Josh Giddey, who helped stabilize the offense throughout the night. But once again, late-game execution issues proved costly. The Bulls committed key turnovers, missed high-leverage shots, and allowed defensive breakdowns in the closing minute — miscues that opened the door for Indiana’s final possession.
