After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Bulls 115-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
