After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Lakers 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
