Lakers team ravished by COVID protocols miss late chance to beat Bulls
. “I’m in good spirits just being around the team — obviously avoided a major injury, which has kind of got my spirits back up because I just didn’t know.”
“We were getting into it and now something else happened,” Davis said. “It’s our entire team, though. Like, we started playing well, start getting a rhythm with each other and then all the COVID stuff happened and then more injuries.Maybe it’s not terrible, but it certainly isn’t good. They quickly fell behind by 10 to Chicago before catching fire in the second quarter, LeBron James and Westbrook barreling to the rim and Carmelo Anthony and Thomas hitting shots from the outside.
Thanks to 37 points in the second and a defensive effort that held the Bulls to 22 in the quarter, the Lakers were in terrific position to steal a win from the Bulls, who were playing their first game in more than a week since having two postponed because of their own COVID-19 outbreak. The Lakers got a big night from James, functioning largely as the team’s center, as he scored 31 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Anthony hit five threes off the bench as he scored 21, but he and Wayne Ellington both missed potential game-tying shots.
