    No one had seen it in weeks, and it's unlikely he can duplicate his 14-point, nine-rebound, 28-minute outing Wednesday when the Bulls attempt to stymie Minnesota, especially All-Star Kevin Garnett.

    Sweetney's production has a tendency to drop against the league's top veteran big men, in large part because of inexperience that leads to foul trouble. It's reflected in his statistical lines against Detroit, San Antonio, Houston and Miami.

    It is commonplace for Sweetney to pick up two fouls a few minutes into games, although he had only one against the Raptors, which even he called shocking.

    "It bothers me mentally sometimes," Sweetney said of his knack for fouling. "I know I'm going to sit for a whole half, especially in the first quarter when I pick up two. In the second half there's a lot of pressure because you want to do better."</div>
