Another win for the Bulls. The 5th straight road win. Impressive. After they only won 4 of the first 15 road games. Hopefully they can extend their streak at home.

Boxscore

Game Recap

NEW ORLEANS -- For a year and a half, the Chicago Bulls rarely won on the road. Suddenly, they can't lose away from home.

Luol Deng scored 26 points, including a putback with 0.2 left in regulation to force overtime, and the Chicago Bulls outlasted the New Orleans Hornets 108-106 on Friday night.

Derrick Rose added 18 points for the Bulls, including two free throws that put Chicago ahead for good in overtime. The Bulls finished a season-long, seven-game road trip with their fifth consecutive victory.

After going 13-28 on the road last season, Chicago had won four of its first 19 away from the United Center this year before its hot streak. At 23-22, the Bulls are above .500 for the first time since they were 6-5.

"When you're winning, everything is positive," Deng said. "We're going into games expecting to win. A game like that, if we had lost four in a row, we might have lost it. But the mentality right now is we can win every game."
Rose: "I want to be that guy. I want to be the reason why the Bulls are back to what they were [during the Michael Jordan era]."
