Bulls Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:36:29 PST)
As the first team to play against the Los Angeles Lakers' full lineup this season, the Bulls didn't hold up very well.
They trailed by double digits the entire second half and didn't seem to have enough height to counter the Lakers' tall front line of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom. The Lakers became just the second team in 11 games to score 100 points against the Bulls' defense. Boston was the other in an Oct. 30 blowout.
So the Bulls dropped to 1-1 on their challenging circus road trip and now move on to play the other Western Conference final team of last season, the Denver Nuggets.
The good news for the Bulls is they get a day off before facing Denver on Saturday, while the Nuggets will be in Los Angeles playing the Clippers on Friday.
