After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Lakers 126-121 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
