Lakers-Bulls Game Gives Us Peak March Madness With One Of Wildest Endings We’ve Seen In Years

This is the definition of insanity!

Thursday night between the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls gave us peak March Madness, and one of the wildest endings we’ve seen in years all across the sport of basketball. The Bulls went home with the 119-117 win and it was courtesy of an absolutely unbelievable half-court buzzer-beater from shooting guard Josh Giddey.

“Special moment to do it with these guys, this team,” said Giddey. (RELATED: ‘These Players Are So Sensitive’: Kendrick Perkins Blasts LeBron For Constant Complaining About How NBA Is Covered)

For Los Angeles, this was ultimate heartbreak, as they literally went from winning to losing within seconds. And the pain comes after recent glory as Wednesday night just saw Lakers superstar LeBron James hit a buzzer-beating tip-in to lead his team over the Indiana Pacers.

Per Basketball-Reference.com, the Lakers are only the fifth team ever in the NBA to win on a buzzer-beater one night just to lose on one the next night.

“Devastation,” said Lakers head coach JJ Redick. “It’s a hell of a way to lose a basketball game.”

What the hell did we just watch?

I’m 34 years old going on 35 this December, and I can honestly tell you, this may be the wildest ending to a basketball game I’ve ever seen. Now I don’t want to be guilty of recency bias or anything like that, so I’d have to go back and review history, but off the top of my head, this has gotta debatably be No. 1.

Insane stuff!
