Josh Giddey's hot form since the All-Star break has continued in Chicago with the Bulls guard registering his 19th double-double of the season.
But despite his 21 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists - for the 73rd double-double of his NBA career and fourth in a row - it was Ben Simmons who finished the happier of the two Australians on Wednesday night thanks to the Los Angeles Clippers' 122-117 win.
Simmons had six points, eight boards, eight assists, one steal and a block of his own to help the Clippers (32-26) up to sixth in the Western Conference standings.
