Which team beat the Bulls 105-82 to clinch a 2026 Las Vegas Summer League semifinal spot?

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Chicago Bulls 105–82 to clinch a 2026 Las Vegas Summer League semifinal spot.

The victory moved Los Angeles to 4–0 in pool play and secured the Lakers a place in the semifinals. Their offense was balanced: six Lakers scored in double figures, with Chris Mañon leading the team with 16 points and Cameron Carr adding 14.

The Lakers also controlled the game defensively. Chicago shot only 3-for-33 from three-point range, a major reason the Bulls could not keep pace despite Caleb Wilson’s 21-point performance. The 23-point margin gave Los Angeles both a win and a strong point-differential result in a tightly contested Summer League standings race.

This was not a regular-season NBA matchup. The Las Vegas Summer League uses a short pool-play format, with teams’ records and tiebreakers determining advancement. That is why a single result could clinch a semifinal berth before the tournament’s knockout games. The 105–82 score identifies the Lakers, not the Warriors, Grizzlies or Rockets.
