The Los Angeles Lakers face the Chicago Bulls at the United Center as the only unbeaten team on the road this season.
L.A. is coming off of a statement victory over the Milwaukee Bucks when they burned one of the top Eastern Conference teams with their own red-hot shooting. The defending NBA champions shot a staggering 51.4% from downtown as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope drained seven 3s and LeBron James added another six.
For the Bulls, L.A.’s performance on Thursday is particularly ominous. Chicago ranks among the teams allowing their rivals to enjoy themselves behind the 3-point line and shoot 38.
