After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Lakers 118-115. Bulls' offense had its way with the Lakers. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
