The Chicago Bulls defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday to resurrect their extraordinary 119-117 comeback. Josh Giddey hit a brilliant half-court buzzer-beater.

With less than 13 seconds left in the United Center, the Bulls had a five-point lead, but they only managed to score three three three-pointers in the final ten seconds of the game.

Giddey flew within his own half as his shot found the hoop with remarkable calm as the time ran out.

Giddey recorded his fifth triple-double of the season with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists, surpassing Michael Jordan’s previous total of 15 in a single season.

Giddey referred to it as “special moment to do it with these guys, this team.”

LeBron James claimed the Bulls should have watched the game after giving away possession with 9.8 seconds left when his team was 115-113 up.

We prepared ourselves for victory, and we did so after the fourth quarter, which included a lot of threes, James said.

“Horrible turnover by myself, miscommunication with the play before that. Austin Reaves attempted to save us, but unfortunately. “Tip your hats”
