Josh Giddey's triple-double leads Bulls to comeback win over Hawks
He picked up sole possession in that category in the Chicago win. Giddey finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, giving him his seventh triple double of the season. The 19 points gave him double-digits in seven straight games, and his 15 assists were a season high.
It took a team effort and not one player or a handful that contributed to the Bulls winning their fifth straight game.
After forcing a miss on the next possession by the Sixers, Coby White attacked Embiid on a switch before stepping back and nailing a three-pointer to give the Bulls a one-point lead. But the Bulls’ 109-102 win, their fifth straight, wasn’t about the Bulls’ starters. It was the team’s depth that led the charge, scoring 59 points.
It still came within a breath of defeat, because the Hawks enjoyed Sunday’s track race nearly as much. They threw touchdown passes, kept Chicago in rotation, made nearly half their 3s and poured in the third-highest single-game point total of any team this season.
The Milwaukee Bucks continue their road trip as they visit the Chicago Bulls Saturday. Tip-off from United Center is set for 8 p.m. ET.
