Lakers bench erupts for 73pts in Chicago rout

With the Bulls in town, we were expected Kobe to have his best offensive game of the season. But it was the bench which showed signs of greatness.

Five reserves scored in double figures for the first time in two decades for L.A, leading the Lakers to a 106-78 victory over Chicago.
Bynum & Farmar combined for 28pts 14rbds & 8asts, while Radmanovic, Mihm & Walton adding 11, 11 & 10.
Kobe was the only starter to finish the game in double digits with 18pts. 
The balance scoring, especially from the bench is definitely the surprising strength for L.A this year. In fact, the Lakers had at least five players in double figures in 8 of the first 11 games of the season - 6 of those were wins.

L.A, which outscored the Bulls 61 to 32 in the 2nd half, will try to extend that chemistry at Indiana, a place where the Lakers have not won since 2003.
