Very Merry
Bulls give the Lakers a Christmas Day beatdown
Bulls 102 Lakers 86

Derrick Rose throws down a dunk against the Lakers Christmas Day.

The Chicago Bulls are making another statement. A statement to the rest of the league that their not going anywhere. Bulls in a prime time game on Christmas Day, beat the Lakers in Los Angeles. The Bulls operated in a more team oriented offense. On the other hand, the Lakers looked to lean on one guy in Kobe Bryant. Bryant played well with 30 points but he couldn't do it all by himself.

Derrick Rose played well on both sides of the ball. He scored 23 points with 8 assists. He also managed to grab 5 steals and 3 blocks. Luol Deng played well also. He chased Kobe Bryant around for 42 minutes. Through all that he put up 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Taj Gibson came in off the bench and put up 12 points.

Chicago Bulls (20-4) at Los Angeles Lakers (18-8)
