The Bulls' taco theft in Los Angeles last night was their best win of the season and you can't convince me otherwise

Tired: The Bulls dropped last night's game to extend their losing streak to 8 and even the most preposterous displays of athleticsim from Zion Williamson can only bring momentary relief from the palpable sadness and apathy this team is drenched in. 
Wired: The Bulls stole free tacos right out of the hands of tan fans in Los Angeles last night, hell yeah, who's to even say what defines a 'loss'

In a world where late night SportsTwitter is just 10-second clips of game-ending basketball heaves with BAD BEAT WOAHHH slapped above it, this may be the Baddest Beat of all. 

You see, this season the Lakers -- in partnership with Jack-in-The-Box -- are happy to offer you a promotion where, when the Lakers win at home while keeping the other team under 100 points, you get two free tacos. Now obviously I don't need to explain to you that it is a terrific deal, because you too love the taco; we won't even get into how much you love the free taco. And 2 of them? Incogitable. 

So now we come to the hero of our story, a 34-loss Bulls team. With less than 2 seconds left, all the makings of a post game Taco Tuesday were in place. The Lakers had over 100 points, were at home, and had held the Bulls to 98. Chicago was swinging the ball around aimlessly (ball movement!) and things were dire. Like Ethan Hunt trying to chase down a full-speed 747, all seemed lost. 

And then: 

Don't you ever say Shaquille Harrison isn't the most clutch player on the Bulls. Look how that 100th point just hangs on the rim, tantalizing LA residents like the sizzling pile of spiced meat and fajita veggies that they'll now have to pay AT LEAST 99 cents for now. 

Fans were *not* having it:

The Bulls might give you 92 points in one half. They may give you an NBA-record 10 three-pointers too. But they'll never give you two free tacos.
