Lakers Take Down Bulls, 107-100
The Los Angeles Lakers took down the visiting Chicago Bulls, 107-100, at Staples Center on Tuesday.

The Lakers (24-21) continue to press on without LeBron James (groin) in the lineup. The team had dropped six of its previous nine games, but on Tuesday, they earned a comfortable win over Chicago (10-34). Despite recent struggles, sophomore point guard Lonzo Ball led the team with 19 points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Chicago, meanwhile, saw its offensive struggles continue, shooting just 40 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range. The Bulls entered Tuesday's matchup ranked last in the league in scoring at 100.9 points per game.

In addition to Ball's strong showing, the Lakers enjoyed stellar play from forwards Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma. Ingram scored 16 points and dished seven assists, while Kuzma added an additional 16 points to go with 11 rebounds.

Chicago, meanwhile, saw six different players score in double digits. Unfortunately for the Bulls, no player contributed more than 18 points in the loss. Forward Jabari Parker, whose play had seen him benched in recent games, led the way with 18 points in just 16 minutes on the court in the loss.

On Thursday, the Bulls will visit Denver while the Lakers will travel to Oklahoma City.
