After a big win over the Clippers on Sunday night, the Bulls returned to Staples Center on Monday night and kicked the Lakers’ ass. Yes, it was without LeBron James, but the Bulls once again showed that they’re for real with a total beatdown.
The Bulls dominated this game from the opening tip, with just a few sloppy stretches littered throughout that kept things interesting at times. They didn’t trail for a single second after a Lonzo Ball 3-pointer with 8:26 remaining in the first quarter, answering every Lakers surge with a run of their own.
