Tue Dec 03 03:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Bulls Rout Nets Behind Giddey’s Triple-Double, Snap Losing Streak
**CHICAGO —** Josh Giddey recorded his first triple-double of the season, leading the Chicago Bulls to a dominant 128-102 victory over the injury-riddled Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. Giddey’s 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists fueled the Bulls’ win, snapping their three-game losing skid.
Nikola Vucevic added a strong performance with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Matas Buzelis contributed 20 points on efficient shooting. Zach LaVine chipped in 18 points for the Bulls, who shot over 50% from the field for the sixth consecutive game – the longest such streak in the NBA this season.
The Nets, meanwhile, suffered their third straight loss, hampered by a growing injury list. The absence of forward Cam Johnson, sidelined with a sprained left ankle, was felt acutely. Dariq Whitehead led the Nets’ scoring with 18 points, and Dennis Schroder added 16 points and 10 assists, but the team struggled from the field, shooting just 40% overall and a dismal 14-for-42 from three-point range. The Bulls pulled away decisively in the third quarter, outscoring the Nets 36-22.
The Bulls’ next game is Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs, while the Nets host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
