Yahoo Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Australian NBA star Josh Giddey has continued his hot form with Chicago, joining LeBron James and Nikola Jokic in an elite statistical club on the run to the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>In the Bulls&#8217; 119-111 defeat of Miami, the Melbourne-born guard became only the third NBA player after legends James and Jokic to record 1000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n<p>Only four players &#8211; Jokic, James, Luka Doncic and Domantas Sabonis &#8211; reached the mark last season, with Giddey notching those numbers for the first time in four NBA campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Giddey posted his seventh triple-double of the season with almost 11 minutes of game time remaining on Thursday (AEDT) and finished with 28 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.<\/p>\n<p>It was his second-best haul for both points and rebounds in any game this season.<\/p>\n<p>Giddey impressed with a classy pull-up three pointer in transition that stretched the lead to nine points early in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>It was one of three triples from six attempts for a player once derided for his shooting capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The huge performance comes following a slow start to the season for former first-round draft pick Giddey, who has since helped the Bulls book an Eastern Conference play-in berth with wins in four of their past five games.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago will take plenty of confidence from the win, given the Heat have ended their last two seasons in the play-in tournament and could face them again this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls have two regular-season games remaining against the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers and are set to start favourites against both given their disappointing campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian NBA star Josh Giddey has continued his hot form with Chicago, joining LeBron James and Nikola Jokic in an elite statistical club on the run to the postseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":51395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
