On this particular night, no one was going to notice how many points Matas Buzelis scored for the Chicago Bulls.
Elsewhere in the NBA, Bam Adebayo was busy scoring 83 points for the Miami Heat. Everything else would pale in comparison to that, even a career night for Buzelis.
But it's worth noting now: Buzelis didn't just score a lot of points of his own. He broke a Bulls record previously held by Michael Jordan.
MJ had been the youngest player to ever score 40 in a game for the Bulls. That's no longer the case.
That honor now belongs to Buzelis, according to Real Sports.
The stats for Buzelis in a win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night ended up lookin like this:
41 points
6 rebounds
2 assists
2 steals
2 blocks
16-28 FG
5-15 3FG
4-5 FT
Buzelis has picked up his scoring as the season has gone on, and the deadline deal that sent Nikola Vucevic to Boston has made the youngster even more of a focal point of the Bulls' frontcourt.

Buzelis is 21 and won't turn 22 until October. He was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after playing for the G League Elite program.
This season, he's now averaging 15.8 points per game.
Buzelis can be one of the key cogs for the Bulls moving into the future. A night like this one helps to prove it, even if very few people noticed.
