What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Good stat from Bulls PR: Josh Giddey and Michael Jordan are the only Bulls to post at least 220 pts, 96 rebs and 100 asts over a 10 game-period – 11:41 PM
Josh Giddey: “As soon as it left my fingertips, it looked good. That’s kind of why I held my follow through the whole time. I had that feeling. It looked straight. It felt good. Special night. Comeback win. It was a helluva team effort. We’ll enjoy this one.” – 11:18 PM
Coby White said Josh Giddey never hung his head after missing that floater late, which impressed White and it’s White’s belief that that “next play mentality” helped lead to Giddey’s huge steal and crazy halfcourt game winner – 10:56 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten LAL was up 115-110 with 12.1 secs left and then… P. Williams 3 makes it 115-113 w/ 10.1 L. James gets inbounds pass stolen by J. Giddey w/ 7.1 C. White 3 makes it 116-115 CHI w/ 6.0 A. Reaves layup makes it 117-116 LAL w/ 3.1
Giddey halfcourt 3 at buzzer, CHI wins 119-117 – 10:42 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter An almost unbelievable ending somehow results in a Chicago win, on a 47-foot buzzer-beater from Giddey. LA led 115-110 with 12.6 seconds left, before giving up a quick 3 to make it 115-113. Then Chicago stole the inbounds pass and hit another 3 with 6.1 seconds left.
Reaves – 10:37 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Josh Giddey had a steal, assist and 47-foot game-winner in the final 7.8 seconds. Oh, and his second triple double in 6 days against the Lakers.
The 7 TOs can be forgiven apparently – 10:37 PM
StatMuse @statmuse Josh Giddey tonight: — More points than LeBron — More rebounds than Hayes — More assists than Luka — More threes than Reaves — More steals than DFS
And a half-court shot to win the game. pic.x.com/GZSn2Up0nh – 10:36 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad Bulls-Lakers: Wow, just wow.
Bulls with 9 points in last 9 seconds, including the winner by Giddey from halfcourt at the buzzer. – 10:35 PM
OH MY GOD JOSH GIDDEY – 10:33 PM
Josh Giddey OMG!!!!!!!! – 10:32 PM
GIDDEY HALF COURT BUZZER BEATER TO WIN – 10:31 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price Crazy sequence here in Chicago: Patrick Williams hit the corner 3 to cut the Lakers’ lead to 115-113. A bad inbound pass from LeBron James is stolen by Josh Giddey, who assists Coby White on another 3, giving the Bulls a 116-115 lead.
Lakers’ ball with 6.1 seconds left. – 10:31 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Lakers pull ahead 59-58 at the half. Josh Giddey has 12 points, Coby White has 11.
Bulls are winning the 3-point line but struggling to keep up with LA in the paint. – 9:12 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Lakers 59, Bulls 58 at half Giddey 12 pts, 8 rebs, 6 assists White 11 pts Hayes 14 pts Reaves 14 pts LBJ 10 pts, 7 assists, 5 rebs
Doncic 9 pts, 6 rebs, 3 assists – 9:11 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Could Coby White and Billy Donovan be headed to some March hardware? What has changed for Josh Giddey? Why it’s OK to enjoy Bulls’ style of play and LeBron James’ lone visit to the United Center.
It’s all here on The Fastbreak: youtu.be/s3h2q7QPisY?si… – 10:31 AM
More on this storyline
During his absence, Ball praised White and Giddey for their individual performances and team leadership to buoy the Bulls through this positive stretch of the season. “I was super proud of them,” Ball said. “I was watching the games. I was screaming at the TV, man. That’s probably the best games of this year, the best stretch for sure. It’s been an up-and-down season, but it’s a great time to get hot right now. … With Coby playing how he’s playing, I feel like we can beat anybody.” -via Chicago Tribune / March 26, 2025
