Fri, 03/06 Bulls vs Bucks

So do blocks, swats, rejections and any other name you use for blocked shots when it comes to Tyrus Thomas.

The third-year forward set a franchise record Friday night by blocking at least one shot in his 24th consecutive game. The previous record of 23 had been shared with Ben Wallace (Jan.-March 2007) and Jawann Oldham (March-April 1985).

Thomas set the mark with a second-quarter block of Luc Mbah a Moute's layup attempt. During the streak, Thomas, who had two blocks Friday, has 49 overall.

When the Bulls play like they did Friday in winning their fifth consecutive home game, they don't have to worry about much.

Gordon led the way with 34 points (10-for-19 shooting) and seven assists while point guard Derrick Rose had 27 points (10-for-18) and swingman John Salmons 21 (7-for-13).

The Bulls also did a solid job on the defensive end.
