The Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak ended in dramatic fashion as the Los Angeles Lakers scored on an inbounds lob play with 6.4 seconds left to take a 107-106 win at the Moda Center on Monday.
Kent Bazemore threw a lob pass to Wesley Johnson, who guided the ball in over the outstretched arms of LaMarcus Aldridge, to give the Lakers the win.
Damian Lillard could not get off the clean shot against Jodie Meeks on the other end.
The winning lob came after officials gave the Lakers the ball after they used video replay to reverse a call that had given Portland possession with 7.1 seconds left.
The Blazers trailed almost the entire game, but Lillard made one free throw with 34.6 seconds left to put them up 106-105, their first lead since they were up 6-4 early in the first quarter.
Lillard missed the second free throw, but got the rebound. Wesley Matthews missed a jumper with 12.9 seconds left, and the Lakers tried to initiate a fast break, but Bazemore lost the ball out of bounds as Nicolas Batum and Matthews closed on him.
