After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Bulls 97-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
