With their five-game winning streak on the line, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers managed to come from behind and rally to beat the Chicago Bulls, 118-112.
The Lakers appeared to take their opponent lightly as they once again came out of the gate sloppy, coughing up the ball several times while also playing with a general lack of urgency and sharpness. Their poor play saw them go down as much as 19 points before Los Angeles finally decided to flip the switch and go on a late-game run.
Los Angeles was down 13 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the bench quickly erased the Chicago lead and ultimately secured the win for what looked to be an embarrassing loss.
