Jazz Beat Bulls 150-147 in Double Overtime

In a thrilling double-overtime finish, the Utah Jazz defeated the Chicago Bulls 150-147 on Sunday night in Salt Lake City, marking the highest-scoring game of the NBA season so far. Keyonte George sealed the victory with a 3-pointer just two seconds from the end of the second overtime, capping a dramatic comeback for the Jazz, who improved to 5-8 and climbed to 10th in the Western Conference.

Lauri Markkanen dominated the contest, scoring 47 points to go with seven rebounds and two assists, propelling Utah past a halftime deficit of nine points. The 28-year-old forward, now averaging 30.6 points per game and ranking fifth in the league, has elevated his play this season amid injuries to key teammates like center Walker Kessler, who is out for the year. Markkanen's performance marked his second straight game with at least 40 points, joining Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry and Austin Reaves as the only players to achieve that feat early in the 2025-26 campaign. George added 32 points, including six in the second overtime and 17 after halftime, helping the Jazz overcome a 13-point deficit in the third quarter.
