LeBron James scored 19 points off the bench in his return from a monthlong injury absence, but Zach LaVine scored 32 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 118-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers
DeMar DeRozan added 17 points for the Bulls, who easily overcame James' return for their seventh win in nine games. LaVine hit 11 of his first 14 shots to lead an offensive effort that snapped the Lakers' three-game winning streak despite the return of the NBA's career scoring leader.
For only the second time in his 20-year, 1,958-game NBA career, James wasn't a starter. He came in as a reserve midway through the first quarter, doing his standard pregame chalk toss while receiving a standing ovation from Lakers fans. James got a field goal in every quarter, and he finished with eight rebounds, three assists and five turnovers in 30 minutes.
“There are going to be swings, and that was the encouraging part,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “I'm seeing a response back competitively.” “I was just playing basketball," Beverley said."Obviously it's good to see some old teammates, old coaching staff.”
