Josh Giddey is making waves in his debut season with the Chicago Bulls, particularly in their matchups against the Los Angeles Lakers. On Thursday night, during their home game against the Lakers, Giddey delivered a remarkable first-half performance, recording 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. This marked his seventh half this season with at least 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, a feat unmatched by any other Bulls player in a single season.

Giddey’s overall impact on the Bulls this season has been significant, but his recent performances have been particularly outstanding. Since the All-Star break, he’s been averaging impressive numbers: 22.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, while shooting with exceptional efficiency.
His performance in their previous game against the Lakers, a Bulls victory, was equally impressive, with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and 8 steals. This consistent high-level play has been a key factor in the Bulls’ recent success, as they’ve won five of their last six games.

Giddey’s ability to deliver historic performances, as evidenced by his record-setting half against the Lakers, underscores his immense potential and his crucial role in the Bulls’ current momentum. He’s proving to be a game-changer for Chicago.
