Josh Giddey drilled the buzzer-beating half-court game-winner that spelled the difference of a clutch 119-117 Chicago Bulls escape over the LA Lakers, Friday, March 28.

In one of the wildest endgame sequences of the season, Giddey stole the show with an insane triple that completed Chicago’s 18-point comeback.

The Australian cager finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists for his sixth trip dub of the season for a fourth straight Bulls win and their second over LA in the last five days.

Coby White added 26 markers as Chicago improved to 33-41.

Austin Reaves paced the Lakers with 30 points while Luka Doncic dropped a 25-7-10 statline with LA slipping to 44-429 with the loss. 

The Purple and Gold squad conclude their four-game road trip in Memphis to test the mettle of the Grizzlies (44-28) while Chicago next hosts the Dallas Mavericks (35-38).
