The New Jersey Nets and the Chicago Bulls had quite the battle on Saturday night at the United Center.  There were 7 lead changes and 7 ties throughout the game.  Both teams had runs and lulls which made this quite interesting, as no one team had a clear advantage.  The Bulls did pull ahead down the stretch with less than 5 minutes left in the game and won with a final score of 113-104.  Both teams are mediocre at best this season with records around 500%.

The starting Bulls lineup contributed fairly equal with Ben Gordon having 29 points, Derrick Rose with 22 points, Drew Gooden with 14 points, Luol Deng with 11 points and center, Aaron Gray was held scoreless, but only played 12 minutes.  Tyrus Thomas was the high man off the bench with 16 points and Larry Hughes was right behind him with 10 points.  I myself have been surprised this year that Chicago hasn’t played more consistent.  With the East getting stronger, the Bulls better pickup their game if they want to make the Playoffs.
