Possible to bomb technicals and still pull an offer?

Recently SD at a BB within tech group and was scheduled for 3 interviews. First two went well but the last was all technical focused and I believe that I got maybe 1/2 correct. Pretty disappointed and thought I prepped well but these were some tough questions and my prep is all self study. Any chance I can still pull an offer or is it a guaranteed ding?

They were very in depth. Feel like it required more than just basic understanding and memorization. I didn’t screw up the basics but it was more in depth than any interview I’ve had. Trying to stay positive and improve just bummed. The other interviews in SD went well but this was the only “pure technical” interview. Appreciate your input
