After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Lakers 135-108. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
