Lakers Get Bullish...

And pull out an impressive road win in Chicago. Once again the Lakers get all sorts of help from guys like Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, who both posted impressive double-doubles again. Bynum is quickly turning into a real force in the middle. Some are already starting to compare him to what Dwight Howard looked like two years ago (and we all know how important he's become to the Magic over the past few seasons as he's become the best center in the East). And how about the bench?! Sasha led all Lakers with 19 points. Kobe had a quiet 18 as he struggled, fighting off his groin injury.

Obviously this game would have been more intriguing if the Bulls were playing to their full potential, but outside of Luol Deng, the rest of the Bulls struggled. Ben Gordon had just eight points and two assists. They need him to get going soon if they want any shot at the playoffs in the East...

Next up for the Lakers, probably their toughest match of the road trip: LeBron and the Cavs Thursday night on TNT. Should be a good one!
