LAS VEGAS — Josh Hart scored 19 points and Svi Mykhailiuk added 15 to lead the Lakers to a 69-60 victory over the Chicago Bulls in a Las Vegas Summer League game on Sunday night at Thomas and Mack Center.

Hart was just 5 for 15 from the field, but he was 4 for 7 from 3-point range. The second-year guard, who led the Lakers (2-0) with 24 points in Saturday’s victory over Philadelphia, added six rebounds, three assists and a steal as L.A. nearly led wire to wire.

Mykhailiuk was 6 for 12 from the field, including 2 for 6 from 3-point range. He added two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes.

Rookie big man Moe Wagner was held to eight points on 4-for-15 shooting (1 for 9 in the first half), but he found others ways to contribute with 14 rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocked shots. Nick King added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers and 19-year-old Isaac Bonga had four points and three rebounds in 16 minutes in his second game since signing his contract on Friday.

Hart was expected to play one game each in the California Classic event in Sacramento and in Las Vegas, but he played in two of the Lakers’ three games in Sacramento earlier this week and doesn’t appear eager to take a seat in Las Vegas.

The Bulls (1-1) committed 18 turnovers, shot just 30 percent from the field (21 for 69) and failed to score more than 17 points in any quarter. The Lakers led 35-29 at halftime and pushed the margin to 14 during the second half.

Matt Williams Jr. scored 12 points off the bench to pace Chicago. Wendell Carter Jr. had nine points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots, and Chandler Hutchinson finished with seven points and eight rebounds. No Bulls starter scored in double figures.

The Lakers are off Monday before facing the New York Knicks on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center.
