The Atlanta Hawks visit the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Friday, November 13, in an East Group C NBA Cup matchup. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Chicago, Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−06:00), equivalent to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) and 01:00 UTC on November 14. The official NBA game center had not supplied a verified live score, final result, quarter-by-quarter line or complete game recap at this check. The latest confirmed story is therefore the matchup itself: Atlanta enters 7–5, while Chicago is 1–9 and attempting to break an eight-game losing streak.
Destaques
A verified live score was not available from the accessible official NBA source at the time above. The NBA game center and official box score is the appropriate place to follow the current result, quarter scores, team statistics, play-by-play and postgame recap once the league makes them available. A blank score, a projected score or a third-party placeholder should not be represented as an actual result.
Because the game was scheduled to begin after this article's last verified time, it would be inaccurate to describe fourth-quarter runs, clutch baskets, a winning team or final player statistics as established facts. This page provides a verified pregame briefing and explains the storylines that can be evaluated once official game data appears.
The Chicago Bulls official game listing confirms Friday, November 13, 2026, at United Center in Chicago, Illinois, with a 7:00 p.m. CST (UTC−06:00) start. That is 8:00 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00) for viewers on the U.S. East Coast and 01:00 UTC Saturday, November 14. The date difference matters: the same NBA Cup game takes place Friday evening in Chicago but is listed under Saturday in some UTC schedules. Daylight saving time ended in both Chicago and New York earlier in November, so the appropriate November 13 labels are CST and EST, not CDT or EDT.
Atlanta won four of five before this matchup, but its most recent game was a 124–114 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on November 9. The Hawks turned the ball over 20 times in that defeat. According to the NBA's game preview, CJ McCollum scored 21 points off the bench, Nickeil Alexander-Walker had 20 and Dyson Daniels recorded four steals. The balance between shot creation and turnovers is a concrete question for Atlanta, rather than a prediction about the outcome.
Chicago lost 124–119 to San Antonio on November 11 after leading by as many as 22 points. Jalen Smith scored 23 and Nic Claxton had 17 off the bench in that contest, according to the NBA preview. The Bulls' rough stretch has heightened the importance of late-game execution and defensive stability, particularly when early offensive bursts fail to translate into wins.
Wilson, the No. 4 draft pick, fractured a bone in his right hand during the Spurs game. The NBA injury report dated November 12 lists him as out for November 13 with a right metacarpal fracture. The NBA preview reported he had been averaging 18.9 points and 6.2 rebounds through his first 10 games, and was expected to miss four to six weeks. Those numbers and the timetable describe information available before Hawks–Bulls, not a new medical reassessment. Matas Buzelis and other available Bulls players may be called upon to replace his scoring and minutes, but the exact rotation is a coaching decision.
The official schedule lists Atlanta at 7–5 and Chicago at 1–9 entering this contest. Those are pregame records, not standings updated with the November 13 result. The NBA's head-to-head history shows Chicago winning all three regular-season meetings in 2025–26, including close 152–150 and 126–123 wins in December 2025. Past games illustrate that this pairing can produce high scoring, but they do not forecast a repeat or establish how this game unfolds.
The NBA Cup gives the matchup a second layer of significance. Atlanta entered group play 1–0 and Chicago 0–1 in East Group C, according to the league preview. Group winners and qualifying wild cards progress to the knockout stage, so the result can influence more than the teams' regular-season win–loss records. Exact postgame group positions must await the confirmed final score and updated league standings.
For scoring updates, use the official NBA game center rather than social media clips that may be mislabeled, delayed or taken from an older meeting. The game's Summary and Box Score sections are the most useful starting points for field-goal shooting, three-pointers, rebounds, assists, steals, turnovers and individual playing time. Game video and highlights should be treated as verified only when NBA or the teams publish the relevant footage for this November 13 contest.
The Chicago Bulls' official schedule lists CHSN and the CHSN app as television options and 104.3 The Score as its radio outlet for this game; availability varies by location, subscription and rights. A replay or highlight package may appear later, but none is being claimed as already posted here. Fans comparing the box score with highlights should identify the date, teams and game clock before interpreting a sequence as a decisive play.
Once the league confirms the result, the meaningful recap should focus on the margin, quarter-by-quarter momentum, leading scorers, efficiency, turnovers and any documented injury developments. Those are conditional reporting priorities, not completed events. The Hawks' ball security and the Bulls' adjustment to Wilson's absence are especially relevant indicators to revisit. Chicago's schedule also lists a visit to Minnesota on Saturday, November 14, at 7:00 p.m. CST (UTC−06:00), creating a quick turnaround. Any broader conclusions about NBA Cup qualification or team form should rely on updated official standings rather than assuming a result from this matchup.
No verified winner or final score was available from the NBA game center at this article's last check. See the official game page for a later result.
The scheduled tipoff is Friday, November 13, at 7:00 p.m. in Chicago CST (UTC−06:00), or 8:00 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00).
