Alongside LeBron James - Anthony Davis spoke up, the Lakers successfully avenged the Chicago Bulls

Meeting the Los Angeles Lakers for the second time in four days, the Chicago Bulls knew they needed to play better to replicate Monday's victory.

Things are a bit more difficult when the Lakers own a fuller squad, welcoming the return of D'Angelo Russell (absence of the previous game) and LeBron James (from the bench back to the starting line-up). .

"Definitely we have to play better because beating a team twice in two close matches is not going to be easy," the Chicago Bulls head coach said before the game.

But instead of improving, the Bulls played worse despite being cheered by more than 19,000 home fans. Compared to the 118-108 victory on March 27 in Los Angeles, Chicago today "lost color" completely in the 110-121 defeat to LeBron James and his teammates.

“I feel the team has all the necessary pieces. It's a rare time that the whole team can play together and nothing is better than when we win away like this," Davis shared.

One name that must be mentioned in the match between the Bulls and the Lakers is Patrick Beverley. Last game, the former Lakers player had a joke LeBron James when the game was about to close.

Today Beverley enjoyed the opposite feeling when Austin Reaves used the same "too-small" celebration the day before. The level of "damage" is probably even higher when Pat Bev has a game to forget because he did not score any points in 25 minutes of play.

“I know I will get back what I did to them today. I'm glad he did. Basketball has to be like that to be interesting for everyone," Patrick Beverley said of Reaves's celebration.

This victory helps the Los Angeles Lakers (38-38) continue to raise their hopes of breaking into the top 6 best performing teams in the West. LeBron James and his teammates are ranked 8th in the rankings, still 1.5 matches away from Warriors 6th place.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls (36-40) began to fall into danger at 10th place in the East. Currently, the chasing group including the Washington Wizards (34-42) and Indiana Pacers (33-44) still have a chance to compete.

If they do not play firmly in the last 6 matches of the Regular Season, the Chicago team can completely fall out of 4 play-in positions (ranked 7-10).

In the next game, the Los Angeles Lakers will continue their 5-game away streak against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls will have the opportunity to regain the feeling of victory when they face the Charlotte Hornets, the penultimate team in the Eastern standings.
