Giddey’s Miracle Shot Leads Bulls To Another Win V Lakers

Australian Boomers star Josh Giddey has scored from halfcourt on the buzzer to lift Chicago Bulls to a stunning come-from-behind win over the LA Lakers.

Josh Giddey has made a halfcourt heave on the buzzer to cap perhaps the wildest finish in the NBA this season, giving the Bulls a 119-117 victory over the Lakers.

LA looked to have the game in hand, leading 100-115 with less than 13 seconds remaining, before Patrick Williams and Coby White hit back-to-back three-pointers to put the Bulls ahead.

Williams nailed a triple with 10 seconds left. Australian guard Giddey then stole an inbound pass from LeBron James and White hit a three with six seconds to go, putting Chicago up 116-115.

Austin Reaves then drove for a layup to give Los Angeles a 116-117 lead with three seconds to go. But the Bulls still found a way to pull this one out, mobbing Giddey after he buried Thursday night's astonishing winner.

Giddey finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists for his second triple-double against the Lakers in less than a week.

The 22-year-old former Oklahoma City Thunder star also joined NBA legend Michael Jordan as the only Chicago player with at least five triple doubles in a season.
