Chicago Bulls Remain Undefeated With 4-0 NBA Start Led by Matas Buzelis

The Chicago Bulls maintained a perfect 4-0 start for the season with a 126-113 victory over the Sacramento Kings, marking their best start since the 2021-22 season. Matas Buzelis led the Bulls with 27 points, supported by Josh Giddey's near triple-double of 20 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds, and Nikola Vucevic's 13 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists. Despite Zach LaVine's 30-point performance in his first game back at the United Center after being traded to the Kings, the Bulls dominated the second half, especially the third quarter, outscoring Sacramento 39-27 and utilizing strong team play and efficient shooting. LaVine received a tribute video at the game, and former Bull DeMar DeRozan also contributed 19 points for Sacramento, but the Kings struggled with three-point shooting and could not overcome the Bulls' collective effort. The Bulls' ability to share the ball and sustain offensive pressure contrasted with the Kings' more individualistic play. This game symbolized both a passing of the torch and a demonstration of the Bulls' emerging identity anchored by young talent like Buzelis and Giddey.
