Bulls Edge Lakers 119-117 After Luka Dončić’s Costly Late-Game Mistakes

 

The Chicago Bulls pulled off a stunning 119-117 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on March 27, 2025, in a dramatic finish at the United Center. Despite leading 115-100 with just 13 seconds left, the Lakers crumbled due to critical mistakes by Luka Dončić. His poor decision-making, including a crucial turnover and missed defensive assignments, allowed the Bulls to capitalize. Josh Giddey sealed the win with a miraculous half-court buzzer-beater. Dončić’s late-game errors proved costly as the Lakers dropped to 44-29 on the season.
