JJ Redick, after the incredible defeat of the Lakers: "It's devastating"

Incredible ending to the game that slipped away from the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday. They were up by 5 with 12 seconds left against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, but ended up losing. After a Bulls' three-pointer brought them within 2, LeBron James made a bad inbound pass, Giddey recovered it, and Coby White put his team ahead with 6 seconds on the clock. Later, Austin Reaves scored a layup that put the Lakers back in the lead. However, Giddey managed to sink a shot from half-court at the buzzer to give his team the win.

Statements by JJ Redick

"It's devastating. It's an incredible way to lose a basketball game."

"I mean, going 11 for 14 on threes in an empty gym is already really good. So, this is an incredible shooting level."

Statements by LeBron James

"Horrible turnover on my part."

"Allowing 44 points in a single quarter, no matter how many you score, is not a good recipe for success."

"There's another game in two days, less than two days. That's the NBA. You can't go into Saturday's game thinking about what happened on Thursday."

Austin Reaves

"I think lack of communication might have been because I was trying to hold my defender instead of getting closer to the ball. I take as much responsibility as I'm sure he does. Hopefully, we can talk about it and resolve it so it doesn't happen again."

"It sucks. We probably had a high percentage chance of winning after my layup. Not many half-court shots end up winning a game. It's frustrating."

Josh Giddey

"He (James) just tossed it. I was surprised how easily I could grab it."
