Lakers rally late to avoid embarrassing loss to Bulls

LOS ANGELES -- Lonzo Ball's jersey was untucked, and he was snatching rebounds out of the air with attitude.

This was far from the sometimes passive rookie the Lakers have seen at times this season. Down by as much as 19 and looking as cooked as a turkey this Thanksgiving, the Lakers refused to quit yet again whenever they fall behind big.

The Lakers came to life in the third quarter and fought the Chicago Bulls down the stretch with Ball hitting the glass like a dominant big man for the second straight game.

Following up his second triple-double which featured a career-high 16 rebounds, Ball snagged 13 boards to go with eight points and four assists as the Lakers came away with an inspired 103-94 win that wasn't decided until the final three-plus minutes.
