The Los Angeles Lakers Lost a Winning Match against the Chicago Bulls with 10 Seconds Left

Today's news drop reveals how two NBA teams turned the Thursday match upside down. The Los Angeles Lakers, the expected winning team of the college basketball game due to its dominance in almost the entire match, fell before the Chicago Bulls in the last few seconds. 

Chicago Witnessed Excited Match 

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls are two renowned teams of the NBA. On Thursday, both teams came face to face in Chicago and fought for their lives to win the season. 

Since victory is for one team only, the match's sudden event in the last 10 seconds changed what was imagined and caused the Bulls to win. With this loss at 119-117, the Los Angeles Lakers lost the entire NBA season. 

Thursday Game Insights

When looking into the game's highlights, it was evident that the Lakers were ahead of the Bulls by five points. Moreover, the match had only 10 seconds to beat the buzzer. The game started with Patrick Williams hitting a corner three-pointer comeback. He led the Lakers by two additional points with 9.8 seconds left. 

The Lakers only required an inbound and a foul, but LeBron threw a bad pass that Josh Giddey stole. Afterwards, Giddey grabbed the opportunity and passed it to Coby White, who hit a three-pointer. It was the time when the Chicago Bulls scored six points in six seconds, which caused the scorecard to reach 116-115. 

The Lakers' player Austin Reaves came forward and helped the team by scoring significantly. The move gave one point to the team. There were only 3.3 seconds. Just before the buzzer, he hit a long shot that went where it was meant to be. The buzzer ended and declared the Chicago Bulls won the game. 

LeBron Admitted What Happened in Game

As soon as the game ended and LeBron was in front of the media channels, he admitted his mistake about what happened in the game. He elaborated: "We put ourselves in a position to win... Horrible turnover by myself. Bad miscommunication the play before that. AR still hit a big bucket to try to save us, and you tip your hat if someone hits a game-winner from half court."

Lakers' Lost NBA Season

It seems like Los Angeles is one of the teams that saw the victory but did not get a chance to experience it. Last week, it lost to the Chicago Bulls and did the same with the Orlando Magic. The Lakers did not play like an actual opponent against the Indiana Pacers.

The Los Angeles Lakers are nowhere among the high achievers in this situation. In fact, it marks the fourth number in the Western Conference. In addition, the Lakers have nine games remaining in the NBA season, scoring 44-29. It seems like Stephen A. Smith is laughing at this moment.

Game's Higher Scorer

Despite the result, what matters most is how the players made the show full of craziness with their awe-struck performances. Josh Giddey finished the match with a triple-double: 25 points, 11 assists, and 14 rebounds. Coby White gave the Bulls 26 points. However, the Los Angeles Lakers' players were not less, as its player Austin Reaves hit 30 points.
