The Los Angeles Lakers lost their fifth consecutive game of the season and fans seem to be running out of patience. While the first two games merely seemed like the Lakers were having a ‘bad day’, their game against the Portland Trail Blazers was what caused the NBA world to talk about trades. LeBron James and co. faced the Blazers on October 23 at the Crypto.com Arena. While fans were waiting in anticipation to watch the Lakers win their first game of the season, they instead had to watch their Lakers star’s poor performances on the court.

The Lakers were leading the game by 102-101 giving fans hope. However, in the last 20 seconds of the game, Russell Westbrook turned fans’ hopes into disappointment with one poor decision. With only a few seconds remaining, Russ decided to make a jump shot and failed in spectacular fashion, causing the Lakers to end up losing a winning game.
