Did I hear right, we were down 18 in the 4th quarter at one point?! Somehow THAT fact will probably get lost in what was the most incredible, unbelievable final 10 seconds.

We got wrecked by the refs. They controlled the tempo and the Lakers were running zones and box-1's at us. The game was a SLOG.

We made one big push off Coby's shots and then got hit with 3 straight whistles to push it back to a 10 point game for the Lakers.

It was ugly until it wasn't

Don't you miss having LaVine on the team? :wink: Amazing how much more this team wins without him.

I went to the Sox opening day and missed this crazy game. Too bad I can't watch it on DVR like the old days. We're advancing in reverse.

Yes, the shot was huge, though lucky. But the key play down the stretch was Giddey coming up with that steal on LeBron and calmly finding Coby wide open for the 3. For him to have such focus, and yet calm in that type of situation is natural instinct and can't be taught. Sure, we could have still lost the game after that big shot, but that entire sequence was just so impressive from such a young player.

that was some of the GOATest sequence I've ever seen from Bulls....

1. Pat clutch 3 with 09 sec
2. Giddey clutch steals LeBron inbound a la Larry Bird vs. Pistons with 09 sec
3. Giddey assist to Coby for clutch 3 with 06 sec
4. Giddey with clutch half-court heave 3 to win the game

Need to mention the Giddey assist to Huerter for clutch 3 on LeBron's face with 41 sec to go.

I'm constantly down on Pat because he's so low energy, but he hit 2 huge 3's late. Props to Pat.

The best parts of all of that was Giddey stealing from LeBron and then Giddey hitting the half court game winner in LeBrons grill.

That last 12.7 seconds was one of the wackiest finishes I've ever seen in an NBA game, and I've seen a lot of NBA games.

Only watched one game all year. I decided to check out what this Bulls hype is with 6 minutes in the fourth. I picked a good one lol

It’s funny because when we were down by 5, I told all the Laker fans with me “if only we had Reggie Miller. This would be in the bag.”

Yeah, but he basically screwed himself on the last defensive play where he just allowed Reaves to stroll through to the paint with little to no resistance. For someone who is supposed to be a defensive player, that was weak sauce. And zero reaction after the huge shot by Giddey, when all the other teammates were going nuts.

I'm done with him, and the sooner he is off this team the better.

I was almost happy to be grabbing a tank win

At the top of the fourth, I said just get it down to 6 with 4-5 min and we'll have a chance

They never gave up. I am astonished. This team is beautiful.
