After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Bulls 120-85. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
