Giddey recorded his 15th as a Bull in the team\u2019s 120-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks after putting up 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old now only sits behind the greatest of all-time in Michael Jordan, who recorded 28 triple-doubles with the franchise during his career, which included two three-peats from 1991-93 and 1996-98.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounds good,\u201d Giddey said post-game when asked about his name being alongside the likes of Pippen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, you know me, I\u2019m all about winning, and that\u2019s number one priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut any time your name is mentioned with people like that, it\u2019s an honour, and you don\u2019t take it for granted, so as I said, my teammates make my job easy. They put me in positions to be successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut winning is always number one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giddey also tied his career-high for three-pointers made in a game with five with the win also snapping an 11-game losing streak for the Bulls.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has kind of been lingering for a while and I think we\u2019ve put ourselves, put good steps forward the last 11 games, even though we haven\u2019t won, I thought we\u2019ve been building in the right direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTonight, obviously, to get this win in front of this crowd was unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giddey, who should have been an NBA All-Star this season, also spoke about his connection with big man Nick Richard and how the Bulls had seven players in double figures as well as 35 assists.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, (Richard\u2019s) a lob threat, so I can put the ball kind of anywhere in that vicinity and he\u2019ll go and get it, obviously, we\u2019ve had time to build that connection now,\u201d Giddey said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he\u2019s on the rim, so I\u2019m trying to put it up there for him and he does the rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to be trying to get back to, sharing the ball with multiple guys in double digits, limit the turnovers, limit the offensive rebounds and I think when we get back to that identity, you see what happens, nights like tonight are possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got confidence in everybody in this locker room, when we play to our identity, I think we\u2019re a tough team to compete against.\u201d<\/p>\n
