The Chicago Bulls relied on a Michael Jordan-like performance from Josh Giddey to earn a 127-111 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at the United Center on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old Australian notched his sixth triple-double of the season, totaling 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in 34 minutes, while also adding two steals, a block, and tying his career high with five three-pointers.

Giddey’s effort carved out a unique spot in Chicago’s record books. He became the first player in franchise history to record a triple-double while hitting five or more three-pointers and joined Michael Jordan as one of only two Bulls players to record 10 or more 20-point triple-doubles.
The 23-year-old’s career total now sits at 24 triple-doubles, placing him 23rd on the NBA’s all-time list and surpassing New York Knicks legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier, while sitting just one behind Clyde Drexler. In Chicago, he ranks third on the franchise’s all-time triple-double leaderboard with 13, trailing only Michael Jordan (28) and Scottie Pippen (15).
Josh Giddey with the Bulls
The Bulls guard has shown remarkable consistency this season. Through the first 25 games, he became the first player in franchise history to record over 400 points, 200 rebounds, and 200 assists, boosting his averages to career highs of 20.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game.
He has already tallied six triple-doubles in just 24 games, one shy of the total he reached in 70 games last season, placing him alongside Nikola Jokic and Jalen Johnson among the league leaders.
After opening the season 5-0, the Bulls stumbled, winning only once in their previous nine games, but Wednesday’s triumph could signal a shift. Chicago fired 56.2% from the field, sinking 14 of 36 three-pointers, and pushed their lead to as much as 19 points in the fourth quarter.
Coby White paced the team with 25 points, while Nikola Vucevic added 20 points and nine rebounds. Seven Bulls reached double figures, with Tre Jones contributing 11 points and 11 assists, and Kevin Huerter, Zach Collins, and Isaac Okoro all making key contributions.
