Well, this game started out in the way alot of people thought it would. in the first quarter the bulls lead most of the way with their largest lead was 12. But the bulls began to get alittle comfortable with their leasd and began to play sloppy and the bulls only led by 6 at the half. The Bob cats continued to surge on thru-out the 3rd on the hot shooting of Kareem Rush Where he scored 4of 4 from the arc in the 3rd. the bulls would enter the fourth down by a few points.But skiles decided to bench his starters and put in the backup squad. Piakowski started the 4th on fire scoring the bulls first 6 points giving the bulls a spark that was needed.Then a key steal by Nocioni that lead to a brek away lapup and a foul gave the bulls the mental edge. Then Kurt was sat down and pargo was given some tick and pargo would score 14 in the fourth to singlhandedly carry the bulls to another victory. The Chicago bench scored 63 points (bobcats bench 22). THE BULLS NOW HOLD THE SIXTH SPOT IN THE EAST! GO BULLS! Bobcats 21 23 29 20 93 Bulls 29 21 24 27 101 FULL GAME STORY
I'm still amazed at how this team is doing. I'm not used to them winning every game when I come home from work and turn on ESPN. Just amazing how not one starter played in the 4th quarter and the bench outscored them by nearly 30 points. I mean, I know it's the Bobcats but it's good to have a strong bench you can count on not to lose leads.
Andres Nocioni gave 17 points and Eric Piatkowski tallied 16 for the Chicago Bulls as they finished up with a 101-93 win over the Charlotte Bobcats at the United Center. Jannero Pargo tallied a season-high 14 points, scoring all in the fourth quarter, as the Bulls won their fifth straight game and their 12th out of the last 13 to improve to a season-best three games over .500 (22-19).
I`m not a big Bulls fan but it really feels good to see a team that hasn`t really been doing good in the win column winning and now in a playoff spot. The Bulls are finally doing that alot of people have been waiting for...they`re meshing together and playing as a team. Also the talent is starting to come out of all the raw, young players. Haha GO BULLS!
