After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Lakers 116-97. Bulls' offense had its way with the Lakers. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
