The LA Lakers will play the Chicago Bulls in a big match up on Christmas Day today in the NBA. The Lakers are having a difficult time this season, but the Bulls are flying and will be looking for their 20th victory of the season today. The game will start at 8 p.m. ET and will take place from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The game will be shown on TV on the TNT network, but can also be watched online through free live stream (details below).
The Lakers are just 9-19 coming into this game and will be looking to avoid losing their 20th game of the season today. That will mean though that they need to take down a very tough Bulls team on the road, and that would mean a significantly better performance than they've managed to put on so far this season.
The Bulls meanwhile are oppositely 19-9 and will be confident of winning against a Lakers team that has found it difficult to find any kind of consistency so far this season.
Pau Gasol will be facing his former team for the first time since departing by signing a three year, $22 million deal with Chicago this year.
Ahead of the game he has said, "Emotional, weird, hard to focus, but at the same time I kind of look forward to it in a way. To see some of the people that I've been through a lot with. ... Just makes Christmas a little more special."
Center Joakim Noah has said of his former team mate: "I think he should get some love. Carlos was big part of this team for four years, and somebody who fought hard every night."
