In their first contest since losing both Josh Giddey and Coby White to injury, the Chicago Bulls surprisingly defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 134–118. Eight players scored in double figures, and 33 of the team’s 47 made field goals were assisted. It was a balanced performance from start to finish. One that suggests the injuries to Chicago’s starting backcourt may not be as damaging as initially feared.
