LOS ANGELES -- Even when Dwyane Wade takes a night off to rest, Jimmy Butler gets the benefit of his new Chicago Bulls teammates veteran experience.Not that Butler needed a whole lot of help while he carved up the Los Angeles Lakers.Butler scored a season-high 40 points and Isaiah Canaan added a season-high 17 in the Bulls fifth victory in six games, 118-110 over the Lakers on Sunday night.Nikola Mirotic had 15 points and 15 rebounds and the Bulls held off Los Angeles late rally for their third win in four stops on their annual circus road trip. They also bounced back solidly after blowing a 19-point lead in a loss to the Clippers on Saturday night.It was a quick turnaround from last night to today, but I saw everybody working on their body and everybody watching the film, Butler said. Thats how its supposed to be.Chicago got a vintage game from Butler, its two-time All-Star and gold medal-winning Olympian. He destroyed a series of Los Angeles defenders with his usual flair, scoring inside and on the perimeter without hitting a 3-pointer.He was attacking all night, Chicago coach Fred Hoiberg said. He told me before the game, `Coach, Im going for 40 tonight, and he did it.Even on the second half of back-to-back road games, Chicago outrebounded the Lakers 56-37 -- including 16 offensive boards -- and constantly outhustled Los Angeles to loose balls.The Bulls did it all without Wade, who rested for the first time this season. He scored 28 points on Saturday, but the Bulls are monitoring their 34-year-old guards long-term health.Even though D-Wade is out, hes still helping me through this process and letting him know what I should be doing, helping me read the game, Butler said. Its great to have him in my corner.Lou Williams scored a season-high 25 points and Larry Nance Jr. had a career-high 18 for the Lakers (7-7).Jimmy Butler had a pretty fantastic game, Lakers coach Luke Walton said. Hes a pretty fantastic player, but if hes going to do that, then we have to shut down the rest of the guys. We let him get his, and the role players all chipped in and did their part as well. You either take away the star or take away the role players. You cant let everyone have a night.RONDOS RETURNRajon Rondo had four points, nine rebounds and 12 assists despite a sore left ankle. He hit a floater in the lane with 28.6 seconds left to secure the Bulls win after Los Angeles trimmed a 15-point lead to five.LONG SEASONThe Lakers young stars mostly struggled in their second straight loss. DAngelo Russell had only eight points and seven assists while playing cautiously on a sore left knee. Jordan Clarkson managed just five points on 1-of-12 shooting, and Julius Randle had 14 points.The Lakers also got a lesson in hard work from the dogged Bulls, particularly in the paint.There was a stretch in the second quarter when they just bullied us on the glass, Nance said. I dont know what was the cause of it.LAST GASPEven on a bad night, the young Lakers made a late rally to trim Chicagos lead to 115-110 with 1:12 left on back-to-back 3-pointers by Nick Young and Russell. Young and Russell then missed 3-pointers that would have trimmed Chicagos lead to two, and Butler won a jump ball before Rondos clinching floater.TIP-INSBulls: Rondo played his second straight game on that balky ankle. ... Theyll host the Lakers in the rematch on Nov. 30. The Bulls have only two games before then, while the Lakers have five. ... German C Paul Zipser sat out with a lower back strain.Lakers: Walton got his first technical foul of the season from referee Kane Fitzgerald in the second quarter after a no-call. ... Luol Deng scored six points. He spent his first 9 1/2 NBA seasons with the Bulls.UP NEXTBulls: The circus trip continues at Denver on Tuesday.Lakers: Host Oklahoma City on Tuesday in the next daunting matchup of a rough stretch with 18 games in 30 days. John Elway Hoodie . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. Cheap Broncos Hoodies Jerseys . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. http://www.cheapbroncoshoodiesjerseys.com/ . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Wholesale Broncos Hoodies . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Cheap Broncos Hoodies . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. Besart Berisha leapt to the top of the A-League scoring charts, netting a hat-trick as Melbourne Victory downed Western Sydney 3-0 for the second time this season.Berisha offered the wasteful Wanderers a masterclass in clinical finishing on Saturday night at ANZ Stadium to take his tally to eight and leapfrog previous leaders Andy Keogh and Bruno Fornaroli.The result takes Victory within a point of second-placed Melbourne City with a game in hand while the Wanderers are left in sixth.But a well-balanced, absorbing display of football will also be remembered more for Jai Inghams nasty knee to the face of Wanderers defender Jonathan Aspropotamitis in the second half.The Wanderers cried for a red card but referee Chris Beath produced a yellow, with replays suggesting Aspropotamitis was stopping Ingham from getting away.On the whole, Victory were compact and encouraged the Wanderers to attack.They duly obliged, probing their visitors time and again with forays of brilliant build-up play, always with Mitch Nichols and the diminutive Nicolas Martinez at the centre.Yet Tony Popovics men squandered chance after chance, and the biggest offender was Brendon Santalab.The usually prolific scorer missed four solid opportunities in the first half including a goal-mouth header straight into the arms of Victory keeper Lawrence Thomas, and another close-range effort skied well over the bar.In the end, Victory madee theirs count - and preyed on a mistake from error-prone Wanderers gloveman Andrew Redmayne.ddddddddddddRedmayne, recalled only to replace suspended Jerrad Tyson, made some fine saves including a brave run off his line to deny Berisha, but his good work was undone when German import Maximilian Beister used his first A-League start to swing in a speculative shot from 30 metres out.Redmayne was on alert but parried straight into the path of a circling Berisha, who had only to tap home for his first.After the break, a pinpoint cross from substitute Ingham put Berishas second on a plate as the Albanian put a first-time header home despite being flanked by two ineffective defenders.He struck a third for good measure in the 92nd minute, closing in one on one with Redmayne and curling home with ease.The outcome was great, Victory coach Kevin Muscat said.Right from the outset, the application of what was asked of the players was outstanding.In the first half you could say Western Sydney got in behind us a couple of times in wide areas and then from there wed be lucky or in the right place.Popovic said he couldnt have asked more from his players.They keep getting better every week and today we didnt get the result, he said.The chances they had they scored, and we got punished.
