The Chicago Bulls are making headlines—and history—after a commanding 126–113 victory over the Sacramento Kings on October 29, 2025. With this win, the Bulls improved to a perfect 4–0 start, a feat they haven’t achieved since the 2021–22 season and only the fifth time in franchise history. The United Center was buzzing as Chicago’s young core delivered a statement performance that has fans and analysts talking.
Buzelis Breaks Out, Giddey Nearly Triple-Doubles
Rookie sensation
Matas Buzelis stole the show, pouring in 27 points along with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. The 20-year-old forward looked every bit the future star, attacking the rim with confidence and knocking down key shots in crunch time.
Not to be outdone,
Josh Giddey flirted with a triple-double, tallying 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 12 assists. Giddey’s court vision and ability to orchestrate the offense kept the Kings’ defense on its heels all night.
Veteran center
Nikola Vučević anchored the paint with 13 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists, providing the kind of steady presence that championship teams rely on.
Kings’ Stars Shine, But Defense Falters
The Kings, now 1–4, saw a strong performance from former Bull
Zach LaVine, who returned to Chicago and dropped 30 points on an efficient 12-of-19 shooting. LaVine added 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals, reminding fans of his scoring prowess.
DeMar DeRozan contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, while
Domantas Sabonis posted a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards. Despite these efforts, Sacramento’s defense struggled to contain Chicago’s balanced attack, especially in the second half when the Bulls’ bench poured in 46 points.
Key Moments and Turning Points
- The Bulls pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring the Kings with a barrage of fast breaks and three-pointers.
- Chicago’s bench depth was a difference-maker, with multiple reserves stepping up to keep the energy high and the scoreboard ticking.
- Sacramento’s offense looked sharp at times, but turnovers and defensive lapses allowed the Bulls to maintain control.
What This Means for Both Teams
Chicago Bulls:This 4–0 start is fueling optimism in Chicago. With Buzelis emerging as a legitimate scoring threat and Giddey running the show, the Bulls suddenly look like a team that could make serious noise in the Eastern Conference. The chemistry between the young stars and veterans like Vučević is giving fans hope for a deep playoff run.
Sacramento Kings:The Kings’ slow start is raising questions about their defensive identity. While the offense is potent, Sacramento will need to tighten up on the other end if they want to climb back into the Western Conference playoff picture. LaVine’s return to Chicago was a personal highlight, but the team’s 1–4 record is a concern.
Takeaways and What’s Next

Bulls fans have reason to be excited: this team is young, hungry, and playing with swagger.

Kings supporters will be watching closely to see if the team can regroup and address their defensive woes.
