The Bulls Blow A Big Lead
The Chicago Bulls faced off against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers and completely folded in the second half. After the Lakers produced a small run in the beginning of the game, the Bulls made a statement and dominated them the rest of the first half. Coming out of the locker room in the second half the Bulls completely fell apart and the Lakers overcame a 16 point lead, mainly due to their stellar play of the second unit. The game didn’t even end up close with a final score of 117-109.
The top three scorers for the Lakers were Kobe Bryant with 28 points, Pau Gasol with 23 points and Trevor Ariza with 18 points. The high man off the bench was Jordan Farmar with 13 points on 5 for 10 field goal shooting. This was the first game on the Lakers last road trip for the season and they have started it off well. L.A. now improves their record to 55 wins and 14 losses on the year.
