After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Bulls 109-69. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

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.
