LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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 ...

"Obviously it was a bad decision by me to react the way I did," Vucevic said. The Lakers were without D'Angelo Russell, who missed his second straight game with a right hip injury. "There are going to be swings, and that was the encouraging part," Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. Patrick Beverley had 10 points and five assists in his first game against the Lakers since they traded him last month. Chicago largely controlled play despite James' return, streaking to a 20-point lead in the second quarter. "I was just playing basketball," Beverley said. Donovan jokingly wondered how Vucevic could be ejected when he was arguing in his native Serbian. For only the second time in his 20-year, 1,958-game NBA career, James wasn't a starter. "He's a savvy veteran, one of the greatest ever to do it, so it's not going to take all that much." "And the day after the workouts, when I woke up, stepped out down off the bed, I could possibly play today. James sat out 13 games with right foot soreness, missing four weeks during the Lakers' run at a playoff berth. DeMar DeRozan added 17 points for the Bulls, who easily overcame James' return for their seventh win in nine games.

GOULET!” There are probably more similarities between Goulet and James than we’d all like to consider but we’ll leave that to the side for now because it’s the start of the week and there are many miles to go before we sleep. Watch the second replay on this one and see if you can find whatever hole Fantilli found to tie the game: The Wolverines were bailed out in regulation by Adam Fantilli, one of the most prolific freshmen in history, and the dead-on-balls No. Also seems a strange claim on a weekend when Miami, San Diego State, and Florida Atlantic are toddling off to the Final Four, not exactly schools known for being basketball powers.

He’s the type of player you hate when he is on the other team, but love when he is on yours. And I was late posting it like a week ago, so I didn’t want the window to close…I’m not out here trying to troll anybody. This was by no means the only time Beverley trolled the Lakers, finishing with 10 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Never the fastest, most athletic, or most skilled player on the court, Beverley has always used the smallest slight to get the needed edge. After success overseas, Beverley signed a contract with the Houston Rockets in the 2012-13 season. After two successful years with the Arkansas Razorbacks, Beverley was deemed ineligible for his junior season because of an academic violation.

The Bulls, meanwhile, are 10th in the East and are also fighting for their playoff hopes. Beverley’s nice guy talk post-game is the complete opposite of what he was hoping for after his Lakers departure. “I was just having fun, getting lost in the game. There are only seven matches left to play and LA currently holds the No9 seed in the crowded Western Conference “We had a lot of fun,” he said. [Bulls](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chicago-bulls) rained on James’ return parade with a 118-108 victory, with the point guard putting up ten points and five assists.

The 6ft 2in Bulls star then crouched and lowered his hand, hitting back at the critics who say “he’s too small” for “Yeah, you know, if I’m a spoon, [Bulls coach] Billy [Donovan] is using me as a spoon,” Beverley said, smiling. “The Lakers, you know, I was a spoon and they used me as a fork.” And on his “too small” gesture to four-time MVP James, Beverley says he was just having fun.
