Watch Josh Giddey hit halfcourt game-winner to cap 18-point Bulls comeback to beat Lakers
The Lakers had this one. They led 115-110 with 12.6 seconds left until a Patrick Williams 3-pointer had the Bulls down just two. Then Chicago stole the inbounds pass, Coby White drained another three, and Chicago led 116-115 with 6.1 remaining.
Austin Reaves drove the rim and hit a layup to put the Lakers back in front 117-116 with just 3.3 seconds to go, and the Bulls had no time outs. Then Josh Giddey did this.
Giddey felt good about the shot.
Coming a night after the Lakers won a game on a LeBron James tip-in at the buzzer, this loss was 'devastation' for the Lakers, according to coach J.J. Redick. The Lakers dominated the third quarter and led by as many as 18 in the fourth quarter, but on the second night of a back-to-back seemed to lose steam late. Reaves led the Lakers with 30 points, while Luka Doncic had 25 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

The Bulls also got hot late, shooting 11-of-14 on 3-pointers in the fourth. Giddey finished with a triple-double of 25 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Coby White scored 26 for Chicago.
The loss drops the Lakers into a tie with Memphis for the 4/5 seeds and a shot at home court in the first round of the West playoffs. The Lakers are 1.5 games behind Denver for third but also just 2.5 games ahead of the surging Clippers with nine games left to play.

WNBA Player Ruled OUT for Sky-Liberty Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky had their two-game winning streak snapped on Saturday against the Indiana Fever, dropping them to a 2-5 record during the 2025 WNBA season. Advertisement After losing 93 to 58 to the Fever on opening day, the Sky fell once again, this time by a score of 79 to 52. Despite Indiana's 79 points being the fewest that Chicago has given up all season, the Sky's 52 points on Saturday were the franchise's lowest since 2011 (via CHGO Sky). No player scored in double figures for the Sky in the loss, but both Kamilla Cardoso and Rebecca Allen had eight points. Hailey Van Lith and Elizabeth Williams each added seven. Chicago Sky guard Moriah Jefferson (4).David Butler II-Imagn Images On Sunday, the Sky announced that 15-year veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot would undergo surgery on a torn ACL, causing her to miss the remainder of the season. She sustained the injury during the first quarter of Saturday's contest. Advertisement The hits kept coming for Chicago, as they reported on Monday that point guard Moriah Jefferson would be out once again for Tuesday's game against the 8-0 New York Liberty. "Chicago Sky Status Report for tomorrow's game against the Liberty," Sky reporter Karli Bell wrote. "Moriah Jefferson (leg) is OUT." Jefferson has played eight WNBA seasons and was traded to the Sky from the Connecticut Sun alongside Rachel Banham last season in a deal that also featured Marina Mabrey. She played 14 games for Chicago in 2024 and averaged 0.9 points and 1.7 assists (via Pro Basketball Reference). She has yet to play in a contest during the 2025 WNBA season as she has dealt with a leg injury. That stretch will continue as she was ruled out once again for Tuesday's contest against the defending champion New York Liberty. Advertisement Chicago will travel to the Barclays Center for their second matchup of the season against the Liberty. Last month, the Sky fell to New York by a score of 99 to 74. The Sky will have a chance to remedy this loss and try to earn their third win of the season on Tuesday. Tipoff for this Commissioner's Cup game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EST.

Knicks' coaching change could bring them everything they're chasing
What the Knicks are trying to pull off with their coaching search is not unprecedented, nor is it even particularly uncommon. Four teams in the past 11 years have won an NBA title in the first year of a new coaching regime, and that number grows to seven over the past quarter century. Here is a look at those instances, as the Knicks search for Tom Thibodeau's replacement following a run to the Eastern Conference finals: 2019-20 Lakers Taking over after Luke Walton had posted a .398 winning percentage over the previous three seasons, former Pacers and Magic coach Frank Vogel led the Lakers to the franchise's 17th NBA title in his first year at the helm to conclude the COVID-spurred bubble setup in Orlando, culminated by a six-game knockout of the Heat in the Finals.
