LAS VEGAS – Dominant team efforts on defense and in the paint fueled the Utah Jazz to an 80-63 victory over the Chicago Bulls in a 2026 NBA Summer League matchup at Thomas and Mack Center on Monday night.

Playing without the resting Darryn Peterson, the Jazz struggled with offensive efficiency but made up for it on the other end of the floor. Utah forced 24 turnovers from Chicago and limited the Bulls to 18 points or fewer in each of the first three quarters.

The Jazz also did plenty of damage near the basket, outscoring the Bulls by a 44-22 margin in the paint.

Utah held a 22-18 advantage after the first 10 minutes and ran its lead to nine points by halftime.

In Peterson’s absence, Jonas Aidoo led the Jazz with 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.

Orlando Robinson finished with a bench-high 14 points and nine boards, while Matthew Cleveland turned in 13 points, five rebounds and three assists. Blake Hinson supplied 12 points and four boards, and Justin Harmon compiled 11 points, three rebounds and two assists.

No. 4 overall pick Caleb Wilson paced the Bulls with 19 points. Wilson added eight rebounds, two assists, five blocks and two steals. Jaylin Sellers was the only other double-digit scorer for Chicago with 13 points.

Noa Essengue managed six points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks.

No. 15 overall pick Dailyn Swain went 0-for-9 from the floor but did contribute nine rebounds.
