In the final 10 seconds of Thursday's game at the United Center, the Bulls made three three-pointers after falling behind by five points with less than 13 seconds left.
As time ran out, Giddey fired from inside his own half and left with an impressive amount of composure after his shot went into the basket.
Giddey recorded his fifth triple-double of the season with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists; the only other Bulls player to record more in a single season is Michael Jordan, who did it in 1988–89.
Giddey remarked, "This is a special moment to do it with these guys, this team."
The Lakers should have played the entire game, according to LeBron James, who admitted to giving up possession when his team was ahead 115-113 with 9.8 seconds remaining.
James remarked, "Even though we gave up a lot of threes in the fourth quarter, we still put ourselves in a position to win."
"I made a terrible mistake on my own and misunderstood the play beforehand. Austin Reaves, or AR, attempted to save us. Raise your hats.
After the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick described the atmosphere in the locker room as one of "devastation," adding, "It's a hell of a way to lose a basketball game."
