There were an odd amount of Bulls fans in Staples Center last night because when Joakim Noah made this sick behind-the-back bounce pass to his teammate, Pau Gasol, the crowd went nuts.
While the Chicago Bulls were handed a loss by the Los Angeles Lakers in an exciting double-overtime game, Joakim Noah made the most of a broken play.
A miss by Aaron Brooks went long, there was a small scrum by the rim, it went to Wayne Ellington but he couldn’t hold on to it. As it was going out of bounds, Ellington decided to toss is behind his back, it went right to Jimmy Butler who found Noah and he finished it off with a sick pass to Pau.
This is prime reason why Gasol and Noah are often considered the 2 best passing big men in the NBA.
