Last-ditch effort
A final, desperate attempt to achieve something before giving up.
Examples:
1- Frederick Smith’s gamble in Las Vegas was a last-ditch effort to save FedEx from going bankrupt
2- When the team was losing by 10 points, they made a last-ditch effort to win by trying risky plays in the final minutes.
