After Action Report
The Bulls edged the Lakers 103-96. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
