Story thus far is Lakers points off TOs and 3-point discrepancy. Bulls have 6 players in doubles, are shooting 51.4% with 23 assists. But Lakers are plus-30 from beyond arc and have capitalized immensely off Bulls’ 13 TOs, scoring 22 pts. – 12:25 AM

D’Angelo Russell, maker of 8 3’s already, nearly hit a 3/4 court bomb to close the 3rd Q, which would have tied his career high of 9 3’s (3X).
Only Kobe and LeBron (last year vs. LAC) have made at least 9 3’s in Lakers history, with Kobe’s 12 the only game of 10+. – 12:20 AM
