After Action Report

The Bulls fended off the Lakers 98-91. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
