Nice win. Tyrus looked good. I actually fell asleep for the entire 4th except like the first minute and last 2 minutes.</p>

Wish I could stay up for the Mavs/Warriors game, but my eyes would probably fall out.</p>

Time for bed</p>

 

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Tyrus Thomas, Luol Deng and the ChicagoBulls hope a few more games like this will help calm the KobeBryant trade rumors.


Thomas scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 14 reboundsand Deng added 17 points as the Bulls notched their first win ofthe season, 97-93, over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday.

Ben Gordon scored 16 points and Kirk Hinrich dished out 14assists for the Bulls, who had five players score in doublefigures.


Chicago, which started 0-4 for the first time since 2004-05,managed to hold off Detroit despite being held without a fieldgoal in the final four minutes.


Deng, who has been mentioned as trade bait in a potential dealfor Bryant, hit a jumper that put the Bulls up 94-89 with 4:04left in the fourth. That proved to be the difference.

Deng and Thomas spoiled a huge night from Rasheed Wallace, whocarried the Pistons, scoring 36 points on 12-of-24 shooting withnine rebounds but missed a pair of crucial shots down thestretch.


Wallace, who scored 14 points in the third quarter to help thePistons stay in the game, was not as good down the stretch -misfiring on his final two shot attempts.


The first was a potential go-ahead jumper that would have putDetroit up by one point with 33 seconds left, and the secondwould have tied the game with 15 seconds to play.


Joe Smith, who scored 13 points off the bench, hit one of twofree throws and Thomas added another to seal the win.

Chicago's bench was also a big reason for the win as itoutscored Detroit's reserves, 31-13.

Re: NBA: DETROIT (3-0) at CHICAGO (0-4)

Badly needed. Badly badly badly. Now let's hope the circus trip goes better than it has in the past many seasons.

 

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Tyrus Thomas, Luol Deng and the ChicagoBulls hope a few more games like this will help calm the KobeBryant trade rumors.


Thomas scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 14 reboundsand Deng added 17 points as the Bulls notched their first win ofthe season, 97-93, over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday.

Ben Gordon scored 16 points and Kirk Hinrich dished out 14assists for the Bulls, who lost to the Pistons in six games inlast season's Eastern Conference semifinals.


"Playing a formidable foe like Detroit, we knew we would playwell," Gordon said. "So we brought our game, and it's good to geta win."


"This is a big win for us," Thomas said. "We came out andplayed better and harder than we have all season, we were morefocused too."


Chicago, which started 0-4 for the first time since 2004-05,managed to hold off Detroit despite being held without a fieldgoal in the final four minutes.


Deng, who has been mentioned as trade bait in a potential dealfor Bryant, hit a jumper that put the Bulls up 94-89 with 4:04left in the fourth. That proved to be the difference.

"We finally played a complete game," Deng said. "When they maderuns out there, we kept answering them. This is our first win,so we can go from here."


Deng and Thomas spoiled a huge night from Rasheed Wallace, whocarried the Pistons, scoring 36 points on 12-of-24 shooting withnine rebounds but missed a pair of crucial shots down thestretch.


"You could (tell) our crowd was getting a little nervous," Dengsaid. "But we made some big plays at the end, which issomething we have not been doing."


Wallace, who scored 14 points in the third quarter to help thePistons stay in the game, was not as good down the stretch -misfiring on his final two shot attempts.


"Those two shots could not have felt any better," Wallace said."That's part of the game though, you will have shots that go inand out."


The first was a potential go-ahead jumper that would have putDetroit up by one point with 33 seconds left, and the secondwould have tied the game with 15 seconds to play.


"Rasheed had two great looks and they just came out," Pistonscoach Flip Saunders said. "What I liked is that he played likea force out there."


Joe Smith, who scored 13 points off the bench, hit one of twofree throws and Thomas added another to seal the win.

Chicago's bench was also a big reason for the win as itoutscored Detroit's reserves, 31-13.


"Eight turnovers from our bench hurt us," Saunders said. "If wewould have had our normal 11 or 12, we would have been fine."
