After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Bulls squeaked past the Lakers 135-133. Bulls torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
