After Action Report

The Lakers fended off the Bulls 116-110. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
