The Los Angeles Lakers head to Chicago in search of their twelfth win of the season and are hoping to snap a four-game losing streak. The Bulls, reeling from the loss of star guard Jimmy Butler to a knee injury, may be vulnerable, but are still a dangerous team that will give the Lakers everything they can handle.
Perhaps the most intriguing part of this matchup is that it will feature the last time that Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol take the floor together as professionals. The pair won two championships for the Lakers during their time in Los Angeles together, and developed a deep friendship. Gasol eventually signed with the Bulls after being the subject of Lakers trade rumors for years, but the connection between the two remains.
Can the Lakers get a win against the injury-depleted Bulls? Check out the highlights:
