The Chicago Bulls stunned the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night with Josh Giddey hitting a game-winning shot from half-court as time expired.

The Lakers held a five-point lead with 12.6 seconds, but a Patrick Williams three, a steal by Giddey, and a Coby White three gave the Bulls a one-point lead with six seconds left.

Austin Reaves hit a layup to put the Lakers back on top with 3.1 seconds remaining, but Giddey's half-court heave sent the Chicago fans home happy.

"Devastation," Lakers head coach JJ Redick said in his post-game press conference. "It's a hell of a way to lose a basketball game."

Referring to the Bulls' shooting in the fourth quarter, Redick said, "They shot 11 of 14 from three. 11 of 14 in an empty gym is good. That's unreal shooting."
