The drought and misplaced energy allowed the Lakers to cut the margin to eight at halftime. They inserted Drummond and kept dominating before closing out the Lakers and notching their second encouraging win on this three-game trip. He let his emotions get the best of him at a costly time, as the Lakers were battling back from a 20-point, first-half Bulls lead. “We were real active defensively, so we were able to get out in transition and play faster and get downhill. Give us credit for understanding the situation and going out there and playing desperate. “Give credit to Pat for coming in here and giving us a jump of life, energy, a vocal leader. He pivoted once he reached the paint and tossed up a baby hook just in front of James. But you’ve got to do the job collectively, and you need one or two guys that are going to be outspoken about what needs to be taking place. “I do it to everybody,” Beverley said. Many assumed it was a purposeful message, Beverley perhaps calling out the Lakers and their players. Beverley drove the lane directly at Lakers star

He’s the type of player you hate when he is on the other team, but love when he is on yours. And I was late posting it like a week ago, so I didn’t want the window to close…I’m not out here trying to troll anybody.

The Bulls, meanwhile, are 10th in the East and are also fighting for their playoff hopes. Beverley’s nice guy talk post-game is the complete opposite of what he was hoping for after his Lakers departure. “I was just having fun, getting lost in the game. There are only seven matches left to play and LA currently holds the No9 seed in the crowded Western Conference “We had a lot of fun,” he said.
