After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls edged the Lakers 112-105. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep.

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.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
