Josh Giddey lifts Bulls to win battle of East's most surprising teams

No one expected the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers to be 5-1 in after six games. No one would have expected the Bulls to be 6-1 after Tuesday night when they were trailing by 24 points early.

Josh Giddey scored two of the last three baskets of the game and assisted on Nikola Vucevic's game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds of Chicago's 113-111 victory. Thanks to the late heroics, the Bulls got a win in a game they led for only 3.2 seconds.

Josh Giddey is leading the Bulls best start in decades

Chicago started 5-0 for the first time since the 1996-97 season, when they still had Michael Jordan. They still haven't lost at home (5-0) this season, with Giddey leading the way. The fifth-year guard had a monster game Tuesday with 29 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. For the season, Giddey's averaging 23.1 points, 10 rebounds and 9.1 assists on a Bulls team that was expected to top out at 33 wins.

Giddey is doing it all. Two games after he scored a career-high 32 points against the New York Knicks, Giddey shot 12-for-21 overall, 2-for-4 on threes and 7-for-8 from the foul line, a sign of his greatly-improved shooting and overall confidence.
