The Chicago Bulls defeated the Houston Rockets 132–124 on March 23 at the United Center, staying under the Vegas total of 233.5 in a defensive showcase. Collin Sexton led Chicago with 25 points while Matas Buzelis added 23, as the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and knocked down 19 three-pointers to pace their offense. Houston's Kevin Durant recorded 40 points and Alperen Sengun contributed 33, but the Rockets' 17 turnovers proved costly against Chicago's disciplined defense, which held a 120.7 defensive rating compared to Houston's 111.2 offensive rating. The Bulls dominated the second quarter with just 24 points allowed while scoring 24 themselves, then pulled away with a 37-point fourth quarter to seal the win. Chicago's 45 rebounds and 30 assists showcased balanced team play, while Houston's superior 53.3 field-goal percentage couldn't overcome their turnover woes and Chicago's perimeter shooting. The victory underscores the Bulls' defensive potential as they continue positioning for playoff seeding.
