The Bulls accomplished a few major milestones on Friday night. With the 109-98 win over the Kings in Sacramento, the Bulls won for the first time in that venue since 1997 – when Michael Jordan played for the Bulls. The Bulls also won back-to-back road games for the first time all season long. The starting 5 continues to play well together. Here are the numbers:
Ben Gordon – 20 points
Derrick Rose – 4 points, 11 assists
Joakim Noah – 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocked shots
Luol Deng – 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals
Tyrus Thomas – 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots
Although the Kings out-rebounded the Bulls 44-37, the Bulls out-shot the Kings 56% to 36% and made 4 of 11 3-point attempts.
The Bulls are now 20-27 and trail the Milwaukee Bucks by 1.5 games for the race for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.
