NBA: Aussie NBA stars have come together as Josh Giddey blocked a slam dunk attempt from Dyson Daniels.
Giddey blocks Daniels posterizer! | 00:30On the second night of a back-to-back amid a condensed early schedule, Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls fell to a Ja Morant-less Memphis 142-131 on Sunday.
Along with the other four Chicago starters, Giddey was in the plus-minus negative as a tiring Bulls outfit fell to 7-11 on the season.Giddey shot and missed a three inside the first minute of the game but remained aggressive in pushing the pace offensively, and as is one of his most appealing traits, he kept his head on a swivel as he surveyed passing options.
Having found momentum and improving as the game went on, Giddey capped his half with a look-ahead dish in transition that resulted in a thunderous Buzelis slam, before a drag-stepping finish of his own — with his left hand — impressed the home attendance. “Once he gets that stroke down, and then gets his defence down, he’s going to be ... wow,” Chicago Sports Network analyst Stacey King said.
“It’s almost on a nightly basis he gets Zach; they have this eye contact when they’re going to make that play. It’s almost on a nightly basis he gets a back-cut.”Giddey checked back into the game early in the final period and made his fifth shot from 10 attempts after a physical move — something head coach Billy Donovan has asked for more of from him — against Grizzlies power forward Brandon Clarke.
VanVleet’s Rockets copped a shock home loss to Portland, and he was ejected after believing he was fouled on a late in-bounds play.
