Bulls-Lakers Preview

Pau Gasol has led the Chicago Bulls to a victory over his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, once this season. Looking to do it again in his first trip back to Los Angeles, Gasol tries to help the Bulls build on an impressive victory that opened a six-game trip and extend the Lakers' longest skid in 21 seasons Thursday night. Gasol won two NBA titles in six-plus seasons with Los Angeles before signing with Chicago (30-17) in July. He admitted it felt weird while recording team highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds in a 113-93 win over the Lakers (12-34) on Christmas Day.
