Move over March Madness, Josh Giddy may have just made the best buzzer-beater we’ll see this month!
On Thursday, the Chicago Bulls looked down and out against the Los Angeles Lakers late in the game. The Lakers took what was seemingly a last-second 117-116 lead with 3.3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. However, the Bulls had time for one last possession despite not having any more timeouts and boy, did they make some magic with it.
With just those few precious seconds remaining, Giddy threw out the inbound pass before receiving it right back with some space ahead of him.
Josh Giddey’s halfcourt shot to stun the Lakers is one of the best buzzer-beaters you will see this season.
The Chicago Bulls are quietly turning into the one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls entered Thursday night’s matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers at 8-2 over their last 10 games, spurred on by recent hot streaks from Coby White and Josh Giddey. The Bulls dropped 146 points in a win over the Lakers just last weekend. The rematch proved to be even more memorable.
