The best defense in the NBA struck again.
Entering the fourth quarter down by 13 points on a night marred by turnovers and low energy, the Lakers turned to their bread and butter – reeling off a 29-4 run to achieve their sixth consecutive win.
With this team, it seems like it’s always a matter of time. Chicago clearly outworked L.A. through the first 36 minutes of play, as another great performance from LeBron James wasn’t proving to be enough to make up for the deficit on the boards, some poor outside shooting, and the damage caused by not being able to take care of the ball.
