Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 7, 2026

Phoenix's defensive woes on the road made Chicago an understandable favorite, but the Suns' potent first quarter—40 points in the opening 12 minutes—threatened to upend the script. The Bulls, averaging 126.8 allowed per game over their last 10, got torched early as Dillon Brooks led Phoenix with 24 points. Yet Chicago's offense, which had been averaging 116.2 scored, proved resilient enough to weather that storm and pull away.

The game's turning point came after halftime. Combined scoring dropped sharply to 57 in the third quarter and 58 in the fourth, as both offenses cooled considerably from the 126-point first half. C. Wilson and Matas Buzelis each contributed 14 points for Chicago, while T. Awaka grabbed 11 rebounds to anchor the interior. Phoenix's Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie added 12 apiece but couldn't generate the offensive rhythm that had fueled their opening salvo. The Bulls closed out 124-117, a 7-point margin that sealed the result.

The final combined total of 241 landed well over the 228.5 market, a 12.5-point overage fueled almost entirely by that explosive first quarter's 69 combined points. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed.
