Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers Watch Live Streaming NBA Basketball Game Online Free from Staples Arena at 3:30 PM ET
The Lakers snapped a season-high seven-game skid with a 119-108 win at Cleveland on Wednesday and followed with Friday's 112-98 victory at Philadelphia to conclude a 2-1 trip.
"It feels great to get two wins in a row," said veteran Chris Kaman, who had 17 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks Friday.
Though the Lakers have won five times in 24 contests, they've shot 51.8 percent in the last two and Friday snapped a 16-game stretch of yielding 100 points or more. They allowed an average of 112.5 during that span.
In his eighth game this season, Steve Nash scored 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting on his 40th birthday Friday.
"I thought I could play well, I could contribute," said Nash, who has played two of the last three since missing 39 straight games with back problems.
"At this point, I don't take anything for granted. It's a grind for me to get ready to play every day. I'm just thrilled I can move out there without restriction and help my team."
Assuming he's healthy to play consecutive games for the first time since early November, Nash will try to help the Lakers avoid their first five-game home skid since 2006-07.
This one-time marquee matinee has lost some of its luster with injuries to players such as Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose. A layup from USC product Taj
Gibson at the buzzer gave Chicago a 102-100 home victory in an entertaining overtime contest Jan. 20.
D.J. Augustin had 27 points for the Bulls, while Nick Young scored a season-high 31 for the Lakers.
Gibson matched a season high with 26 points and recorded 13 rebounds Thursday, but the Bulls blew a 16-point lead en route to a 102-87 loss at Golden State that dropped them to 2/3 on a six-game trip. Chicago shot 41.6 percent, committed 17 turnovers and allowed the Warriors to make 48.2 percent of their shots and half of their 22 3-point attempts.
"You've got to make some shots," coach Tom Thibodeau told the Bulls' official website. "I thought it was still winnable down the stretch and we didn't get it done."
