The Chicago Bulls battled the Lakers in L.A. in the lone NBA game on a Tuesday night with the home side winning 103-94.
Chicago controlled the game for the most part and managed a 19-point lead but being the youngest team in the league comes at a cost.
The Lakers capitalized on a 30-12 run to end the third and ended up winning the game easily.
Lauri Markkanen struggled from the field but still finished with 13 points, 14 rebounds, an assist and a block.
For the Lakers, Croatian youngster, Ivica Zubac played 3 minutes and had 2 points and a board.
