Built Ford Tough Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 CHICAGO -- Playing without Derrick Rose hasn't held back the Chicago Bulls. C.J. Watson, starting for the injured MVP, scored 20 points and Joakim Noah added 13 points and 11 rebounds to lead the resilient Bulls to an 89-80 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. The Bulls overcame an early 14-point deficit without Rose, who missed his third straight game with a strained groin. Rose has missed 13 games this season and the Bulls still have the best record in the NBA at 37-10. They are 9-4 without Rose. "That was a tough team we just beat so it gives us a lot of confidence, we just need to keep it going. We are playing without our MVP so we just need to keep getting better, keep improving. It was a good bounce back game from yesterday," Noah said. The Bulls lost Friday night to Portland after beating the Heat without Rose on Wednesday. Chicago has not dropped consecutive regular season games since Feb. 5-7, 2011, and back-to-back contests at the United Center since a five-game skid March 1-19, 2010. "That's our motto, not to lose two in a row. We've been sticking by that and we just need to keep it up," Watson said. Jrue Holiday led the 76ers with 30 points. Philadelphia dropped its third straight and has lost seven of nine on the road. Holiday got little help as Andre Iguodala was held to seven points and Elton Brand to seven. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120317_PHI@CHI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
