The cool Chicago breeze featured a different buzz this morning, thanks to Josh Giddey’s miraculous half-court prayer over the Lakers to cap their fourth-straight victory. Of course, the entire sports world saw the buzzer-beating heave and the final 12 seconds of action-packed chaos that turned into the most entertaining NBA game this season, but there are still a few awe-inspiring tidbits that the ordinary eye missed. Here are some under-the-radar highlights from a magical night in the United Center.
The ELECTRIC Radio Call
Chuck Swirsky, one of the most famous Chicago Bulls personalities and voices, had another iconic call last night. For those who watched on television or saw the highlights via social media, they missed one of the best in the business mastering his craft. Enough talking about it; enjoy the bone-chilling excitement from one of the most genuine and invested announcers and Bulls fans.
I haven't slept. One for the ages. The Bulls have won 4 straight. 9 of 11. They swept the Lakers with LeBron and Luka on the floor for both games. Bulls just 1.5 out of the 8th seed . 2 behind 7th seed ATL. The Bulls were 14 under.500 March 4 @chicagobulls Sat, home with… https://t.co/iS428xCV7G

Coby White Gained A New Perspective On Giddey
The 25-year-old guard out of North Carolina has been the perfect sidekick to Josh Giddey. As one of the youngest and newest backcourt tandems leaguewide, the pair adjusted to learn one another’s play-style, habits, and tendencies. After several months of trial and error, injuries, and a rotating roster, they have become arguably the best guard duo in the entire NBA during March. White averages nearly 30 points nightly, while Giddey posts almost a triple-double every game. They have collectively carried the Bulls to a 9-2 standing over their previous 11 games.

Not only have they learned to complement each other’s game between the lines perfectly, but their psychological chemistry is also improving with each passing game. Here’s what White had to say about his new teammate after his heroics. These two will likely represent Chicago’s backcourt for the foreseeable future, so these words are a giant leap in the right direction.

Chicago turns their focus to the final stretch, where they have nine games to close the 1.5-game gap between them and the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic. This would afford them a double-elimination safety net in the upcoming NBA Play-In Tournament rather than a lose-or-go-home scenario.
