WATCH: Bulls’ Jalen Smith Ends Third Quarter with Halfcourt Buzzer Beater

Jalen Smith was doing his part to keep the Chicago Bulls within striking distance of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The backup big man had already knocked down a pair of 3s before the ball landed in his hands with time expiring in the third quarter. Smith snatched the inbound right behind halfcourt before turning to pull up for the heave. With Kyle Lowry stationed right in front of him, the youngster made a quick adjustment to get the shot off clean.

The ball hit the back of the rim and dropped through the bottom of the net as the buzzer sounded.

JALEN SMITH FROM HALFCOURT 🔥

The clutch three brought the Bulls within single digits. Nevertheless, they’ll have their work cut out for them against Joel Embiid and Company. Let’s see if they can complete the comeback!
