After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Lakers 127-100. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
