The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Chicago Bulls today as they play away in Chicago. The Lakers are coming off of a win against the Golden State Warriors.
Kobe Bryant sat out of the last game and the Lakers were able to bring a win home. He said this:
“Looking at our schedule coming up, I just thought it was a good time to give him a day of rest and let him prepare for the next game,” coach Byron Scott said. “He’s on board with it. … You’ve got to remember – this is 19 years in this league. That’s an unbelievable career. I don’t care how much his mind is willing. You’re not going to be able to play 82 games at the level that he is accustomed to playing.”
It will be an interesting game for Pau Gasol as he will play against his former team for the first time:
“Gasol signed a three-year, $22 million deal with Chicago this summer following six-plus seasons with the Lakers, including championship runs in 2009 and ’10. The Spanish big man is averaging 18.0 points and what would be a career-best 11.4 rebounds.
“Emotional, weird, hard to focus, but at the same time I kind of look forward to it in a way,” he said of Thursday’s showdown. “To see some of the people that I’ve been through a lot with. … Just makes Christmas a little more special.”
Gasol’s arrival has provided a huge lift for the Bulls (19-9), who have climbed atop the Central Division behind a 7-1 run. Chicago is on the verge of a season-best fifth consecutive victory after winning 99-91 at Washington on Tuesday. Derrick Rose came up big again with 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter after scoring 15 of his 29 over the final 12 minutes against Toronto the night before.”
