DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball both hit season-high totals as the Chicago Bulls beat the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time in nine matches.

DeRozan scored 38 points while Ball added 27 in a comfortable 121-103 win at the Staples Center.

It was the first time the Bulls had beaten their Californian opponents since November 2016.

The Lakers are still without LeBron James who missed his seventh game in a row because of an abdominal strain.
