Josh Giddey stole LeBron James\u2019 ensuing inbound pass and found Coby White, who hit another three. Reaves came back with a layup to put the Lakers back up at 117-116 with three seconds to go.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Giddey inbounded the ball, got it back, and sank a running triple as the clock expired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDevastation,\u201d Lakers head coach JJ Redick told reporters after the game on March 27 when asked for his immediate reaction. \u201cIt\u2019s a hell of a way to lose a basketball game.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"9516c621418551f62cdaaded8fecc91d\">\n<div>\n<article>The final 12.6 seconds of Bulls-Lakers \ud83e\udd2f<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as it left my fingertips, it felt good,\u201d Giddey told reporters in the Bulls\u2019 locker room. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of why I held my follow-through the whole time. I kind of had that feeling when it left; it looks great, it felt good, so. It was a special night. Obviously, great comeback win. I\u2019ll enjoy this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls were 8-for-30 from long distance entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey shot 11-of-14 from three [in the fourth quarter]. That\u2019s a \u2013 11-of-14 in a empty gym is really good, so. That\u2019s unreal shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls finished with seven players in double figures, three of whom crossed the 20-point threshold. Giddey was in that group, tallying 25 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 steals in the 119-117 victory.<\/p>\n<p>White had a team-high 26 points. Trade deadline pickup Kevin Huerter chipped in 21 points.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>LeBron James Tips Cap to Josh Giddey After Bulls Stun Lakers<\/h2>\n<p>The loss was the Lakers\u2019 second buzzer-beating scenario in as many nights. They beat the Indiana Pacers on James\u2019 tip-in on Wednesday. Following that, James spoke about wanting to get revenge against the Bulls over their 146-115 win in LA on March 22.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand how gruesome the Wild Wild West is when it comes to the standings, and to get a win like that was huge,\u201d James told ESPN\u2019s Katie George during his walk-off interview on March 26. We know we got another one tomorrow; a Chicago team that\u2019s been red hot as well. Beat us pretty bad last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gotta get some rest. It\u2019s another team that\u2019s gonna get up and down the floor, so we gotta defend like we did tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the game, James lamented the Bulls\u2019 fourth-quarter surge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe put ourselves in position to win. Gave up a lot of threes in the fourth quarter, but still put ourselves in position to win,\u201d James told reporters after the game. \u201cHorrible turnover by myself. Bad miscommunication, the play before that. AR still hit a big bucket, try to save us. Then, man, tip your hat if someone makes a game-winner from halfcourt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James had 17 points, 12 assists, 5 boards, and 2 steals. Reaves led the Lakers with a game-high 30 points. Luka Doncic posted a 25-10-8 line with 2 steals and 1 block.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo do it against any team, it\u2019s fun. But, obviously, the Lakers \u2013 and moreso the fact that we just beat them on their home floor, and they were looking to come out tonight and punch us first, and got up big \u2013 15, 20 points. We just kept the door ajar in that fourth,\u201d Giddey said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProud of the guys. It was a hell of a team effort. We needed everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bulls React to Josh Giddey\u2019s 1st Game-Winner<\/h2>\n<p>The Bulls have touted their fast pace and the impact it has on opponents. It paid off for the Bulls versus the Lakers in the form of Giddey\u2019s first game-winning basket. Giddey and his teammates celebrated accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wow,\u201d Huerter posted on X on March 27. \u201cCraziest game of my life probably.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"256888d5ed487dba5736f8677a13013a\">\n<div>\n<article>Josh Giddey gets the game ball \u2764\ufe0f<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis was fun!\u201d Bulls center Nikola Vucevic \u2013 who had 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks \u2013 posted in reaction.<\/p>\n<p>White, who also had 9 assists, praised \u201cJosh \u2018Big Sauce\u2019 Giddey\u201d and reveled in the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe probability of us winning that game was probably very low,\u201d White told reporters. \u201cBut we defied the odds. It was a fun game to be a part of. That\u2019s a game that I\u2019m gonna remember for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josh Buckhalter covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
