Los Angeles Lakers vs Chicago Bulls: Storylines
After a 118-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers earned a lot of criticism for their performance on Thursday. The purple and gold were nothing like they usually are and even Anthony Davis called out his teammates for the lack of defense and intensity. They will try to make a statement tonight and show that they’re still the best team in the NBA.
Chicago don’t have plenty of expectations for this season but they know they can ruin the day and the night for every team. They already did to Dallas Mavericks a couple of days ago and now will try to do the same against a Western Conference candidate.
