A frustrated Josh Giddey was involved in an altercation with a courtside fan during the Chicago Bulls’ 123-116 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.<\/p>\n
With 1:16 left on the clock and the Bulls trailing by seven points in Charlotte, a spectator got under the skin of Giddey prior to a Bulls’ in-bound play.<\/p>\n
The spectator called out and gestured with a finger as he taunted Giddey.<\/p>\n
Giddey marched down the court to confront the man, with the referee getting between the two.<\/p>\n
Security finally arrived and removed the offender to the jeers of the crowd.<\/p>\n
“He just said something I didn’t like and I went over to him. That was it,” Giddey said after the game.<\/p>\n
“Security took him out and that was the end of it.”<\/p>\n
Giddey appeared on target to bag his fifth triple-double haul of the season but did not get the opportunities he needed.<\/p>\n
The point guard finished with 25 points, matching Coby White as the Bulls’ top-scorer, and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n
But he just missed the triple-double, posting nine assists as his side sank to their third loss in the past four games.<\/p>\n
