He put the game to bed with two clutch free throws with 14 seconds remaining.

Giddey and company begin 2025 on the road against the Washington Wizards before two consecutive home games, welcoming the New York Knicks and San Antoni Spurs.

Things will get interesting as the trade deadline nears since players such as Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine are linked to multiple teams. Giddey is playing for his next contract as he's set to be a restricted free agent this offseason. He's interested in returning to the Bulls, who acquired him from the OKC Thunder last summer.

Giddey spent the first three seasons of his career with the Thunder, posting career highs in his second year there. However, a scandalous rumor last season affected his play despite being a starter. His numbers across the board were down, with Oklahoma City sending him to Chicago last June in exchange for Alex Caruso.
