Although their 22 point lead had fizzled down to five, the Chicago Bulls were still in control of the Thunder with 1:47 left. They were leading for much of this contest and had gotten another big game from Zach LaVine, who scored 35 points.
However, crunch time proved to be a struggle for Chicago once again.
LaVine and his team went scoreless the final 2:09 of regulation, allowing OKC to come back and force overtime. In the extra period, the Bulls nearly won the game on the last possession but LaVine’s straight away three bounced off the rim in the 127-125 loss.
