Although the Chicago Bulls did not have the strongest lineup when one of their two big stars, Zach LaVine, was injured. However, star DeMar DeRozan played so well (scoring 27 points) that he overshadowed LeBron James (scoring 25 points). DeRozan was not the only one shining, the Chicago Bulls had 7 other players scoring over 10 points, and 5 of them were in the starting lineup.

Speaking to reporters after the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest loss to  the Chicago Bulls , star LeBron James said the team had been tired early in the season and that led to the team’s three-game slump. “It’s a combination of everything. I mean, it’s emotional fatigue. It’s physical fatigue. It’s the fatigue of a season and when you don’t win obviously it’s fatigue from frustration,” the 38-year-old said.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a tough schedule   this week as they travel to the top two teams in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves (December 22) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (December 24). If they don’t improve their fitness and determination, LeBron James and his teammates will likely continue to suffer more defeats in the NBA.
