Here you’ll see an Overtime buzzer beater lay in from Taj Gibson. It gets the Chicago Bulls a 102-100 OT win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Dropping LAL to 2-2 on the “Grammy Road Trip.”
Taj Gibson is a legitimate starting four, and here he displays that he’s clutch too. The talent and ability of Taj Gibson are the reason that GarPax will have no second thoughts at all about amnestying Carlos Boozer at the end of the 2013-14 NBA season.
From the look on the face of Kobe Bryant, you can see how much he’s shocked. The Chicago Bulls are .500 for first time since sitting at 7-7 on Nov. 27. Taj Gibson made a really clutch play, but this wasn’t your older brother’s Lakers that the Bulls beat here. No Kobe Bryant, no Steve Nash. They still have Pau Gasol, but their leading scorer is Nick Young and their point guard is Kendall Marshall. ‘Nuff said.
