Ayo Dosunmu came off the bench to score 21 points and power the Chicago Bulls to their third win of the season, a 128–123 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center.

The Chicago native, now in his fourth season with the franchise, delivered an impressive second-half performance to seal the win. Alongside his team-high 21 points, Dosunmu also contributed three rebounds and two assists.

Josh Giddey recorded a double-double with 18 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists, while Nikola Vučević narrowly missed out on a triple-double, finishing with 17 points, 17 rebounds, and nine assists.

Forward Matas Buzelis added 16 points, The Jones chipped in 14, Patrick Williams scored 12, and Isaac Okoro had 10 in a well-rounded team effort.

Despite a strong start, the Hawks fell short after a late Bulls rally. Kristaps Porziņģis led all scorers with 27 points, Jalen Johnson added 25, and Trae Young’s double-double of 21 points and 17 assists wasn’t enough to turn the tide.

Onyeka Okongwu also impressed off the bench with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

The loss marks Atlanta’s third of the season, while Chicago remains one of only two unbeaten teams in the Eastern Conference, alongside the Philadelphia 76ers.
