The fourth quarter became a shootout, with both teams combining for 69 points—the highest output of the evening—to push the final combined total to 260. Chicago held on 135-125, but the game was decided by New York's explosiveness in the third, when the Knicks outscored the Bulls despite a combined 66 points in the quarter. The first half saw a tightly matched offensive flow at 125 combined points, before the second half accelerated with 135 combined, signaling a shift toward volume.

Josh Giddey led Chicago with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Nikola Vučević added 26 points and 7 rebounds to anchor the Bulls' attack. Ayo Dosunmu chipped in 22 points and 9 assists. For New York, Jalen Brunson paced the offense with 29 points and 7 assists, while OG Anunoby scored 26 points and Mikal Bridges contributed 23 points and 6 assists.
