Josh Giddey’s Half-Court Buzzer-Beater Stuns Lakers in Wild Finish

The Chicago Bulls rallied from a five-point deficit in the final 12.6 seconds to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 119-117, marking their fourth consecutive win.

Josh Giddey secured the Bulls' victory with a dramatic 47-foot buzzer-beater, capping a triple-double performance with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.
The Bulls overcame a 115-110 deficit in the last 12.6 seconds with three clutch three-pointers and a critical steal by Giddey on a LeBron James inbound pass.
Austin Reaves led the Lakers with 30 points, including a layup that briefly reclaimed the lead with 3.3 seconds left before Giddey’s game-winner.
The loss highlighted the Lakers’ late-game execution struggles, marking their fourth defeat in five games and jeopardizing their playoff seeding in the Western Conference.
The Bulls’ resurgence continues as they climb to ninth in the Eastern Conference, driven by strong performances since trading Zach LaVine and adopting a fast-paced style of play.
