After Action Report

In Chicago, the Lakers snuck past the Bulls 86-84. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
