After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Bulls 133-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
