As was mostly the case for the Bulls on Tuesday night, the ball was in Josh Giddey’s hands with seconds to go.
After trailing the 76ers by 24 points at the United Center, the Bulls clawed back with a spirited defensive performance in the second half to get within one. Giddey, who had orchestrated much of the offense, received a ghost screen from guard Kevin Huerter and drove toward the basket, gaining a step on 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. and drawing the attention of center Joel Embiid, which left teammate Nikola Vucevic open in the corner for a leaping, left-handed pass.
