Coming into Tuesday nights game against the Chicago Bulls, it felt like a must-win game for the Los Angeles Lakers. Since the injury to LeBron James, things have not been going well for Los Angeles, and they have quickly dropped in the Western Conference standings.
After bad losses to teams like the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers, there was a lot of uncertainty about whether or not the Lakers would be able to beat the Bulls. Like the Cavaliers and the Knicks, the Bulls are not a very good team this and have struggled quite a bit.
