After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Bulls 125-99. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
