Due to a plethora of injuries, including one to LeBron James, that situation has changed entirely. Since then, the Lakers have lost four games in a row and dropped from the second seed to the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped a heartbreaking loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night despite leading for the majority of the game. Los Angeles allowed the Bulls to score 44 points in the fourth quarter to earn the comeback win.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James saw that first-hand after being on both ends of a buzzer-beating game-winner in back-to-back nights. On Thursday, James powered the Lakers to a 120-119 victory over the Indiana Pacers after he cleaned up a Luka Doncic miss and delivered the game-winning tip-in.
