- Share via
When: 2 p.m.
Where: Staples Center.
On the air: TV: Channel 7. Radio: 710, 1330.
Update: The Bulls are expected to be championship contenders, with 2010-11 NBA most valuable player Derrick Rose, forwards Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng, center Joakim Noah and recent free-agent acquisition Richard Hamilton. The Lakers are a surprisingly sour 5-8 on Dec. 25 games since Kobe Bryant entered the NBA. The Lakers lost to Miami last year on Christmas Day at Staples Center, 96-80.
