Twolves fell to the Bulls yesterday and awaits for revenge tonight at home

 

Yesterday was a good day for some of the weakest teams in the NBA, first the Sonics took down the Spurs 88-85 and the Bulls managed to win at the United Center against a Twolves squad that hasn’t being on the right track lately

On the Bulls, top scorers were Kirk Hinrich who contributed with 27 points and Andres Nocioni ended with 18, while for the Timberwolves, Al Jefferson finished the night with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Chicago had the advantage 21-15 at the end of the first quarter thanks to 10 points by Nocioni, then the Twolves rallied for the lead 33-27 at the middle of the second, but the Bulls were at the top again 43-37 at the end of the first half. Then Minnesota carried on for a 55-55 tie on the third, but could not took any leads after that and so allowing Nocioni and and Hinrich to gave the Bulls the advantage for good.

The Bulls won in despite of being plagued with injuries, as Luol Deng, Ben Gordon and Chris Duhon had to watch the game from the bench and none of them will be playing tonight again at the Target Center in the rematch against the Twolves.

Duhon came back and play a couple of games but he realized he was just not ready to keep up with the line of the game just yet.

C-Du really wants to play, but we don't want to put him in a risk situation, I think with a day or two of rest we can get him back and he'll be fine.'' Said Bulls coach Jim Boylan.

Let’s see if the Bulls can keep up with their good rhythm and achieve a second victory tonight.
