March 10, 2026; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (0) fights for a rebound with Chicago Bulls center Nick Richards (13) during the second quarter at Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Bob Kupbens-Imagn Image Matas Buzelis scored a career-high 41 points, including five in overtime, Josh Giddey had his second straight triple-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 17 assists, and the Chicago Bulls edged the Golden State Warriors 130-124 on Tuesday night in San Francisco.
Buzelis, Giddey and Tre Jones, who finished with 22 points, scored all of Chicago’s points in overtime and took advantage of a tired Golden State squad for the second day of a back-to-back, outscoring the game 12-6 over five additional minutes to snap its second straight loss.
In their second home game in San Francisco, four different Warriors scored 17 points, including Kristaps Porzingis, who had 1.4 seconds left in a regulation victory before Jalen Smith drew a foul on a desperation 21-footer and hit a pair of free throws to tie the game at 118-all.
Buzelis started the overtime with a 6-footer and Jones followed with a driving layup to give Chicago a lead it never relinquished.
The Warriors used a 19-2 rush late in the fourth quarter to take a late advantage, but the door was left slightly open for Smith’s answer from the opposite line when LJ Cryer missed one of two free throws with 7.9 seconds left.
Looking to end a two-game losing streak, the Warriors went on a late chase after falling behind 103-91 with 7:58 left following a 3-pointer by Buzelis. They built an eight-point lead with just 1:31 left, but Chicago dominated the final 6:30.
Buzelis shot 16-for-28 overall and 5-for-15 on 3-pointers, breaking his previous career high by nine points.
Smith (12 points, 12 rebounds), Leonard Miller (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Nick Richards (10 points, 10 rebounds) all recorded double-doubles for the Bulls.
Cryer, Gui Santos and Pat Spencer joined Porzingis in scoring with 17 points each for the Warriors. Al Horford (13 points) and Draymond Green (12) also scored in double figures for Golden State, and Gary Payton II also recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
