Owner Real Deal Posted January 23, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 CHICAGO -- Injuries. Brutal scheduling. Heavy travel. Nothing seems to faze the Chicago Bulls. Carlos Boozer scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the injury-depleted Bulls to a 95-89 win over the struggling Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night. Luol Deng added 22 points and eight rebounds as the Bulls won their seventh straight at home and improved to an NBA-best 15-3 despite the absence of two starters and two key reserves. "We'd like to be healthy, but we do a good job of stepping up when we have guys out," Boozer said. "We have a lot of guys that can play on this team. I think we're the deepest team in the league." Richard Hamilton added a season-high 20 points for Chicago and is fitting in well during his first season with the Bulls. "When guys are hurt, they cheer for guys that are out on the floor," Hamilton said. "In the NBA, that's hard to find." The Bulls played their fourth straight game without reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose (sprained left big toe). They also were missing starting center Joakim Noah, a late scratch because of a left ankle sprain. Reserves Taj Gibson (left ankle sprain) and John Lucas III (left groin strain) also sat out, but the Bulls had plenty of firepower left on the roster.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120121_CHA@CHI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
