The Los Angeles Lakers were hanging tough with the Oklahoma City Thunder for most of their Friday night Emirates NBA Cup bout. In fact, the Lakers trailed by just two points with under 30 seconds to go and had a chance to get a stop and get the ball back to force overtime or go for the win.
But Lakers guard Max Christie made the mistake of fouling Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, thinking that L.A. had a foul to give. However, they were actually in the bonus so it gave him two free throws and put the Thunder up four with 22 seconds to go.
