The Los Angeles Lakers got cooked by the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, 124-108, and head coach Darvin Ham found himself squarely in the crosshairs following the loss.
Lakers’ analysts and fans alike were baffled on social media regarding some of his decisions. Namely, going small at various points in the game despite the Bulls rolling with traditional centers was met with disdain:
Ham was hardly the only reason the Lakers lost on Wednesday night, of course.
The Bulls were red-hot from three, finishing 18-of-34 (52.9 percent) from deep. They punished Lakers’ mistakes unmercifully, turning 14 turnovers into 23 points. With Zach LaVine still out of action, all five Chicago starters scored at least 13 points, led by DeMar DeRozan’s 27 points, nine assists and three rebounds.
