A.J. Griffin capped off a chaotic last few seconds at State Farm Arena on Sunday night with a clutch buzzer-beater. The Atlanta Hawks forward received an inbounds pass in the lane and tipped in a jumper with only 0.5 seconds remaining in overtime to defeat the Chicago Bulls 123-122. Jalen Johnson's sideline throw was flawless, and Griffin stepped up to hit the fadeaway jumper.
That bucket capped up what was a crazy extra period in Atlanta. Trae Young hit a clutch 3-pointer with two seconds left to put the Hawks ahead by two. However, only a second later, Bulls star DeMar DeRozan was fouled by Bogdan Bogdanovic while making his own 3-pointer. This sent him to the free throw line, where he made all three of his attempts to put Chicago back in front.
That advantage, though, was insufficient. The Hawks then called a timeout, moved the ball, and the rest, as they say, is history. Griffin gave them the one-point victory.
Bogdanovic led the Hawks with 28 points and seven rebounds off the bench, while Young chipped in 19 points and 14 assists. Griffin ended with 17 points on 7-of-17 shooting from the field. Atlanta's victory also ended a three-game losing streak.
To lead the Bulls, DeRozan nearly had a triple-double. On the night, he had 34 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Zach LaVine contributed 21 points, and Nikola Vucevic had 13 points and eight rebounds. Chicago has now dropped four of its past six games and is 11-15 on the season.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
