The Chicago Bulls came out on top over the Atlanta Hawks, 168-161, in a quadruple-overtime affair at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Friday night. It marks the first time since Dec. 7, 2006, per the Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds, that a team has scored at least 150 points in a loss.
Getting there was a wild ride. Hawks rookie point guard Trae Young hit a three-pointer with just over three seconds to play in regulation, which appeared to be the winning shot before Bulls forward Otto Porter Jr. was fouled while shooting a three.

Porter, who tied his career high with seven threes in the game and ended with 31 points, made all of his free throws with .4 seconds left and sent the game to overtime.
Young opened the first overtime period with a 27-footer beyond the arc and ended it by going coast-to-coast layup to tie the game at 140, forcing a second overtime.
