Owner Real Deal Posted January 3, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21487569.jpg ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Chicago Bulls haven't felt like themselves for much of the past few weeks. They're hoping a much-needed win is the first step in finding their way back. Carlos Boozer had a season-high 31 points and 11 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 23 points and the Bulls hung on to beat the Orlando Magic 96-94 on Wednesday night. Taj Gibson added 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who played without center Joakim Noah. Chicago was outrebounded 37-34 in Noah's absence but exploited an injury-plagued Magic front court, outscoring them 42-32 in the paint. Jameer Nelson missed a leaning jumper in the closing seconds that would have tied it, sending Orlando to its seventh straight loss overall and fifth in a row at home. "We're down. We've been shorthanded all season," Boozer said. "But this game we were without Joakim and I thought Taj came in and played a monster game. Luol was normal with his All-Star performance. We did a god job at the end being resilient ... We did a good job of when we needed to of getting stops at the very end." Nelson returned to the lineup after missing two games with a sore hip and scored a season-high 32 points. Nik Vucevic finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Arron Afflalo added 19 points for the Magic. They dropped to 0-7 without Glen Davis, who could be sidelined for a few more weeks as he rehabs a sprained left shoulder.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130102_CHI@ORL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
