The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a nail-biter against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, as they won 120-119 off a buzzer-beater tip-in by LeBron James. Now, they’ll face Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Thursday night.

Giddey made NBA history in the latter contest as he became the first player ever to notch 15 points, 17 assists, 10 rebounds, and eight steals in the same game. Chicago made a new announcement regarding the 22-year-old on Thursday.
