Giddey shines with triple-double in Bulls' victory

Josh Giddey had an impressive performance for the Chicago Bulls against the Los Angeles Lakers, helping his team to a 146-115 victory. Giddey recorded 15 points, 17 assists, 10 rebounds, and a career-high eight steals. His strong showing occurred just after returning from an ankle injury. Giddey's performance fell just two steals short of being the first player since 1997 to achieve a quadruple double. Giddey felt more confident in his game and mentioned that he had to guard Luka Doncic, a top player in the league. He acknowledged that despite Doncic scoring 40 points, he was eager to learn and improve his defense. The Bulls maintained their lead in the game mainly through strong teamwork and effective ball movement. In another game, Dyson Daniels from the Atlanta Hawks impressed with three steals in their 124-115 win over the Golden State Warriors. Coach Steve Kerr praised Daniels, suggesting he has a good chance to win the Defensive Player of the Year award this season. Trae Young also had a strong game, scoring 25 points and providing 10 assists. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers held off the Brooklyn Nets for a 108-103 victory, marking their fourth consecutive win. Tyrese Haliburton returned from injury and continued his streak of double-doubles. Despite a late comeback attempt from the Nets, the Pacers managed to secure the win and hold their position in the playoff race.
