After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Lakers 127-98. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
