Josh Giddey’s assist to Zach LaVine in Grizzlies-Bulls goes viral

The Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies faced off in an NBA preseason game on Saturday. This was the third preseason game for Memphis and the second for Chicago.

The Bulls lost to the Grizzlies by a final score of 124-121 and were unable to maintain their early lead. Still, there were plenty of encouraging signs for a Bulls team that enters the new season with several question marks.

Two-time NBA All-Star Zach LaVine was incredible for the Bulls, scoring 28 points in just 22 minutes. New Bulls guard Josh Giddey finished the game with 11 points, seven assists and seven rebounds in just 23 minutes.

One of LaVine’s nine baskets came off an assist from Giddey, and the play went viral on Instagram:

This play has over 450,000 views and is one of two Giddey plays that went viral in this preseason game. Giddey and LaVine also had nearly identical passes, which the Bulls put together in an Instagram video.

This video has over 350,000 views on Instagram. Even though it’s still early season, the Bulls have to be encouraged by what they’ve seen from Giddey and LaVine.

The Bulls are still waiting for Lonzo Ball to return from injury, which is another development to watch for in the preseason. The Giddey-LaVine duo is off to a solid start for now.
