Lakers stumble again, lose 3rd straight game to Magic with Playoff spot far from certain
The Los Angeles Lakers lost 118-106 to the Orlando Magic to fall to 3-7 over their last 10 games.
Oshoala’s disappointment peaked during the game’s final moments. With the Lakers clinging to a 115-110 advantage and just seconds remaining, LeBron James attempted a play that ended in disaster.
A rushed turnover, after the visitors had reduced the lead to 115-113, handed the Bulls a chance to strike, and Coby White capitalised with a clutch three-pointer, flipping the score to 116-115 with only 6.1 seconds left.

Taking to Snapchat, the Nigerian striker vented her anger with an emoji-fueled outburst.
“Why did Bron rush dis fuckin play bruh,” she posted, before adding a screaming voice note: “Jesus Christ, Lakers is the most useless team, Lakers is a fucking useless team.”

Her words echoed the heartbreak of a game that saw the Lakers blow an 18-point lead, only to fall apart in the final 12.6 seconds.
The Bulls held on to seal a 119-117 victory, leaving Oshoala and Lakers fans everywhere stunned.

The loss was a stark contrast to LeBron’s heroics just a day earlier, when he powered the Lakers to a thrilling late win over the Indiana Pacers.
But against the Bulls, the four-time NBA champion went from hero to zero in Oshoala’s eyes, drawing her ire as the team crumbled under pressure.

Oshoala’s fiery reaction will surely spark a buzz among fans, blending the worlds of football and basketball with her unfiltered take.
For now, the Lakers and LeBron might want to brace themselves for more heat from the Nigerian superstar if they don’t turn things around soon.
