Bobcats Injuries
Raja Bell, Right Calf Strain, Day -to-day

So the Bulls outbeat the Bobcats in the playoff race. Now the Bulls need wins for confidence and a better playoff seed.

I don't see any chance for Bulls, Pistons or Sixers to beat the Cavs at their home court.

Go Bulls!

Halftime

Bulls leading 52-50

Gordon 21 pts and Rose 14 pts, 4 ast

Pistons lose at Pacers, so the Bulls can get a 1-game lead if they win.

Go Bulls!

6:22 to go in 3rd quarter

Bulls trailing 68-70

Bulls need some defensive stops right now. Bobcats shooting .537 so far. Too much for a Bulls win.

Go Bulls!

Noah and Miller both already with 4 fouls. Not good.

Bulls trailing 72-75 with 3:47 to play in 3rd quarter.

Too many 3-pointer for the Bobcats. 8-12 3FGs for Bobcats.

End of 3rd quarter

Bulls trailing 78-83

Go Bulls!!!

Start of 4th quarter. A Bulls win would be so good after the Pistons lose their game tonight.

Go and get this win Bulls!

Wow...Noah with 8 pts, 7 ast and 9 reb so far.

Bulls trailing 86-87. Noah with the chance to tie the game after he was fouled at his dunk.

Go Bulls!

Dumb 3-pointers from Bobcats.

Bulls trailing 87-90 - 8:22 to play

5:52 left

game tied at 92

Go Bulls!
