Fellow Boomer Jock Landale, 31, had his best scoring night of the regular season for the Hawks before it ended early. He scored five points in about a minute early in the fourth quarter, a putback and then a 23-foot three that cut Chicago's lead to 98-90 with 8:07 left. Thirteen seconds later he was called for a Flagrant 1 foul, with Giddey sent to the line for the free throws.
It was Landale's sixth foul, so he fouled out with 7:54 remaining and Chicago eight points clear. He finished with 12 points on 3-from-7 shooting (1-from-4 from three and 5-from-6 at the line), five rebounds, a steal, a block and four turnovers in 18 minutes off the bench, and he was minus-10.
It was the Bulls' first win at the United Center in five attempts this season, after home losses to Washington, New York, Philadelphia and San Antonio, and it ended an eight-game losing streak that had left Chicago at 1-9. They are now 2-9, and 1-4 at home.
Giddey went into overtime with 14 points, seven rebounds and 13 assists, and he finished the job in the extra period. His 14th assist was the play that decided it: with the Bulls up 120-117 and 23.5 seconds left, he found Matas Buzelis for a 23-foot three that doubled the lead to six. Seconds later he took the defensive rebound off Jalen Johnson's missed 31-footer for his 10th board, and Atlanta did not score again.
That pass was not a one-off, because all three of Buzelis's made threes came from Giddey, the first two in the opening half. Giddey shot 5-from-10 from the field, 3-from-7 from three and 2-from-5 from the free-throw line in 39 minutes, adding three blocks and four turnovers without committing a foul, and he finished plus-19. The 10 rebounds are a season high, and the 14 assists sit one behind the 15 he had in the loss to the 76ers on Monday, November 9 (AEDT).
It is a timely line for a guard who came into the game averaging 10.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists in a quiet start under Tiago Splitter.
Powell led all scorers with 33 points and took over the extra period, scoring nine of Chicago's 15 as the Bulls outscored Atlanta 15-7, and Buzelis finished with 11 points, six rebounds and three blocks at plus-20. The Bulls were without rookie Caleb Wilson, who is listed out with a hand injury.
The Bulls visit the Minnesota Timberwolves at 12:00pm AEDT on Sunday, November 15, and the Hawks play the Milwaukee Bucks in Milwaukee at 12:00pm AEDT on Monday, November 16.
Miami Heat 133 Cleveland Cavaliers 121 (Final)
Tyrese Proctor's career-high-equalling 22 points in a Cavaliers loss to the Heat at Kaseya Center on Saturday, November 14 (AEDT)

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Tyrese Proctor came off the bench and had 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 27 minutes as the Cavaliers lost 133-121 to the Miami Heat. He shot 7-from-9, 5-from-7 from three and 3-from-4 at the line, with no turnovers and four fouls, and finished with a plus-minus of zero.
His 22 points equalled the career high he set against Washington in April, and his five threes equalled his best, also against the Wizards, in November 2025. His previous 2026-27 highs were 15 points and three threes, and the 15 came against New York on Thursday, November 12 (AEDT).
He came on with 7:15 left in the first quarter and Cleveland behind 14-9, and between 3:36 and 2:11 he hit threes from 23, 24 and 29 feet and then dunked, 11 straight Cavaliers points that turned a 19-11 deficit into a 22-20 lead. A free throw gave him 12 points in the quarter. With the Cavaliers trailing by double figures in the fourth, he added a floater and two more threes, the last from 25 feet with 22.3 seconds left.
Cleveland trailed 92-91 after three quarters, and Miami won the fourth 41-30. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo scored 37 each, Adebayo with 14 rebounds, and Davion Mitchell had 22 points and 17 assists for the 6-6 Heat. Donovan Mitchell scored 25 and James Harden had 20 points and eight assists for the 6-7 Cavaliers.

Houston Rockets 125 Utah Jazz 118 (Final)
Josh Green's two points off the bench in a Jazz loss to the Rockets at Toyota Center on Saturday, November 14 (AEDT)
Utah Jazz wing Josh Green came off the bench and had two points in 14 minutes as the Jazz lost 125-118 to the Houston Rockets. He shot 1-from-4, 0-from-2 from three, with no turnovers and two fouls, and finished minus-10.
His only basket was a 10-foot step-back jumper with 36.9 seconds left in the first quarter that tied the game at 27-27. He also had a 25-foot three blocked by Reed Sheppard late in the third.
Alperen Sengun had 43 points and 12 rebounds and Kevin Durant scored 22 for the 10-3 Rockets, who won the fourth quarter 33-29. Darryn Peterson scored 28 and Keyonte George 27 for the 1-12 Jazz, who led by as many as 10.
