What happened: Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey explained his no-look, behind-the-head pass to Matas Buzelis during Tuesday's preseason win in Milwaukee, saying he threw the ball and hoped his teammate was still in position. The play came on Giddey's seventh assist to Buzelis in the corner.

Why it matters: The connection highlights growing preseason chemistry between Chicago's primary playmaker and Buzelis, who returned to action after exiting an Oct. 9 exhibition with a right ankle injury. Buzelis capitalized on the perimeter creation by shooting 4-for-4 from beyond the arc during a 12-point third quarter.

What to watch: Chicago continues its 2026-27 preseason slate as Giddey and Buzelis build toward the regular-season rotation.
