Josh Giddey could feel it as soon as the ball left his fingertips. In a flash, teammates were mobbing him. Giddey’s buzzer-beating halfcourt heave capped what might be the wildest finish in the NBA this season and gave the surging Chicago Bulls a 119-117 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves appreciated LeBron James and Luka Doncic trusting him to take the final shot.

The Lakers need Doncic on the court if they want to halt this losing ... Los Angeles will be playing in the first game of a back-to-back once again but this game against the Suns is very important.
