Tonight’s game is the opener of the first of two season-long five-game road trips the Bulls will take this season. Now in his sixth season in the NBA, Joakim Noah is averaging the following career highs 15.3 ppg, 3.3 apg, 2.30 bpg and 1.40 spg. This season, Chicago has held its foe under 90 points three times, going 3-0 in those games. Last season, the Bulls were 31-2 (.939) when they limited their opponent to less than 90 points in a game.
Enjoyed the win. Boozer does seem to play better away from home. Joakim and Deng have really been stepping up for this team.
Boozer always seems to play well against the Suns. He had his only 30 pt game of the year against them last season, didn't he?
