With the game tied with just 12.1 seconds remaining, the Kings had the ball to try to win the game, which Fox did with a 26-foot hit from downtown with just 0.1 seconds left.

This loss marks Chicago’s 23rd loss in a clutch situation this season, which for a team who is fighting for a play-in spot, hurts even more.

DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with a game-high 33 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals on 10-of-20 shooting from the floor and 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
