In a stunning turn of events, the Los Angeles Lakers squandered a late-game lead against the Chicago Bulls, ultimately losing 116-115 in a game that showcased the unpredictable nature of NBA basketball. With just 10 seconds remaining, the Lakers held a 115-110 edge but were unable to maintain their composure. Instead, the Bulls, spearheaded by a clutch three from Patrick Williams, initiated a rapid comeback.

The Lakers' LeBron James mismanaged an inbounds pass, allowing Josh Giddey to intercept and assist Coby White’s three-pointer that put the Bulls ahead. Despite Austin Reaves' heroic layup to regain a brief lead, Giddey sealed the game with a jaw-dropping halfcourt buzzer-beater. This loss marks what could be considered the worst defeat of the season for the Lakers, demonstrating their current struggles under pressure.
