A very rare Bulls road victory and I miss the game! Almost impossible to analyze from the stats, but here goes. Looks like Rose had another excellent game. Two in a row now for him. Ben was also solid, sounds familiar. Noc and Hughes seem to have done something positive by each netting 17. Hughes missed a lot of shots to do it though, not surprisingly.
Noah and Thomas both got minutes, 31 and 20 respectively. Neither one had great stats, although Noah had 4 blocks! A 0 point effort from Thabo, 1 rebound and 0 assists in 20 minutes! Did he just sit down in the corner and watch?
Also, it looks like the Bulls won because NJ folded at the end. Our defense or their jacking up bad shots and missing. I suspect the latter. Harris and Carter were the only ones scoring for them.
When I told my wife we beat NJ on the road she immediately asked "who was injured for them?". They have their injuries like everyone else, but my first thought was that we have three main guys missing, that is, if you can count Deng as a main guy. If Kirk and Gooden can come back soon and be as good as they can be, and if Deng could just not be so awful, then the Bulls could possibly make a second half run.
