The Chicago Bulls lost a heartbreaker at the buzzer on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, 123-122, as Hawks rookie AJ Griffin hit a mid-air floater on an inbounds pass with 0.5 seconds remaining.
Despite the loss, the Bulls got to celebrate a small milestone for center Nikola Vucevic, who joined a small, elite crew of rebounders.
Vucevic grabbed his 8,000th career rebound on Sunday, becoming only the fifth active player to do so.
