Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 28, 2026

Memphis's last meeting with Chicago ended in a 25-point rout in favor of the visiting Bulls, a blowout that suggested the Grizzlies had little answer for Chicago's offense. This rematch, however, told a different story—one decided by the thinnest of margins and a second-half surge that kept the total afloat.

The first half unfolded as a slugfest, with just 114 combined points through two quarters. Chicago's defense held Memphis to 28 in the opening frame while the Bulls managed 30, but neither side could generate consistent offense. The pattern reversed sharply in the third quarter, when the teams combined for 72 points—the game's highest-scoring period—tilting the pace decisively upward. Matas Buzelis led Chicago's charge with 29 points and 10 rebounds, while Collin Sexton added 26 points. Memphis countered through Cedric Coward's 24 points and 9 rebounds, along with contributions from Tyler Burton (18 points, 5 rebounds) and Jahmai Mashack (17 points). Tre Jones orchestrated Memphis's offense with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.

The fourth quarter saw the pace stabilize at 63 combined points, enough to push the game to 249—a half-point victory over the market total of 248.5, which had drifted down to 247.5 by tipoff. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed. Memphis escaped with a 125–124 victory, a stark reversal from March's route and proof that tight, late-game affairs can flip the script on historical matchups.
