After Action Report

In Chicago, the Lakers stunned the Bulls 114-110. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
