Allow me to set the stage.
The Bulls were down 91-75 entering the 4th quarter against the LeBron/Luka and the Lakers.
Things weren’t looking too hot when the lead ballooned to 18 points with 10:18 left in the game.
From there, absolute chaos ensued.
By the 5 minute mark, the Bulls were within 10.
Coby White started to do Cody White things and bury a flurry of threes.
Then came a Patrick Williams three, then a Kevin Huerter three, and then a Vucavic three.
Now it’s at the 2 minute mark, and this is suddenly a 4 point game.
Plenty of time left as long as you execute.
AfteranotherKevin Huerter three, we had a 1 point game with 46 seconds left.
Ideally, you don’t give up a three there if you’re the Lakers, but whatever.
It’s a 2 possession game with 12 seconds, and the Bulls have to foul.
You’re still up 2, just get the ball in and win the game at the FT line.
Is that what the Lakers do?
Talk about a wave of emotion!
Are you all braindead?
This is the shit that happens every night!
OK, well maybe not this exact sequence, but you get the point.
Credit JJ for that one.
Unfortunately, they left WAY too much time on the clock.
You have to get that down closer to 0.0 simply to avoid what happened next.
In terms of the Giddey shot, I mean, that’s an all time feeling.
A halfcourt game winner at home to beat LeBron and Luka?
I’m not sure it gets better than that.
These Bulls man, they won’t go away.
Josh Giddey is playing out of his goddamn mind as is Coby White.
Can they get out of the Play In?
Shit, playing like have been I don’t think you might rule it out.
They now trail ORL by only 1 in the loss column and are 8-2 over their last 10.
Their entire season could very well come down to that half court game winner.
