Jalen Smith knows how to shift momentum with authority, and the Bulls big man picked the perfect time to make his statement. With Chicago trailing Philadelphia 102-99 and 2:45 left in regulation, Smith caught the ball on the move near the baseline, drove hard through the lane and rose up to throw down a one-handed slam on a rotating Joel Embiid, bringing the United Center to its feet. The dunk ignited a game-ending 10-0 run that sealed Chicago's fifth straight victory and evening their record at 15-15. Smith finished with 12 points and eight rebounds in the Bulls' 109-102 triumph on December 26, 2025 · Dec 27, 2025
