76ers-Bulls Preview

While the moves the Chicago Bulls made at the trade deadline were done with an eye toward building a championship contender next year, their current play is helping keep them in playoff position this season.

The Bulls look for a fourth consecutive victory when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

By trading swingman John Salmons and underachieving former fourth-overall pick Tyrus Thomas on Thursday, Chicago (28-26) could have almost $20 million in salary cap space to go after a group of marquee free agents that include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

In the meantime, the Bulls remain focused on reaching the playoffs for a second consecutive season.

"All the guys who were here before, the guys now - the goal in this league is to win,'' guard Kirk Hinrich said. "I feel like we've put ourselves in a good position to have a good strong finish.''

Chicago is tied for sixth in the Eastern Conference after winning 100-94 at Minnesota on Friday for its third straight victory since the All-Star break and fifth in six games. The Bulls are in the midst of a favorable stretch with seven of their eight games out of the break against teams with losing records.

Philadelphia (21-33) is one of those clubs. Though the 76ers beat the Bulls 106-103 in overtime at home Feb. 3, they've dropped their last two trips to the United Center, including a 94-88 decision on Nov. 14.

All-Star and reigning rookie of the year Derrick Rose has averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists while shooting 54.0 percent in six career games against the 76ers. He had 30 points and nine assists at Philadelphia earlier this month, and despite still dealing with a sore hip, scored 19 with eight rebounds and five assists against the Timberwolves.

Hinrich, who had 19 against the 76ers in November, notched a team-high 20 points Friday for the Bulls, who've averaged 111.0 on 50.4 percent shooting while beating Minnesota and New York twice in their last three games.

Hakim Warrick, acquired from Milwaukee in the Salmons deal, had 10 points and nine boards in his Chicago debut Friday.

Chicago is likely to be without forward Joakim Noah for an eighth straight contest due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

"We want to be smart about it," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said of Noah's injury.

Philadelphia opens a four-game road trip after avoiding its third consecutive loss with a 106-94 home win over San Antonio on Friday.

Andre Iguodala had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists while Lou Williams scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and Elton Brand finished with 18 as the 76ers won for the sixth time in eight contests.

Iguodala bounced back after totaling 19 points in his previous two contests and the 76ers outscored the Spurs 33-18 in the fourth quarter.

"That's the winning quarter," said Williams, who also had 20 points at Chicago in November.

Iguodala scored 24 at Chicago earlier this season, and 25 with eight rebounds and eight assists against the Bulls earlier this month. The Springfield, Ill, native has averaged 23.0 points, 7.8 boards and 6.0 assists in his last five games at the United Center.

Brand, the No. 1 overall pick by the Bulls in the 1999, has averaged 19.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in 15 career games against his former team. He had 26 earlier this month versus Chicago.

Bulls break open game in the second, win fourth straight

CHICAGO (NBA.com exclusive) -- Not much was happening Saturday night, until something woke up the sleeping Bulls.

The Bulls scored 21 consecutive points in the second quarter to break open an even, slow-moving game, and that sudden streak led the Bulls to their fourth straight victory in five days, 122-90 over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.

The Bulls set a season record for points scored in a game, regulation or overtime.

Taj Gibson led the Bulls with 20 points and 13 rebounds, and the Bulls had seven players with at least 12 points, including newcomers Hakim Warrick (15 points, nine rebounds) and Flip Murray (12 points).

The Bulls even hit from outside, making eight of 15 3-pointers, and Kirk Hinrich set the team record for made 3-pointers with 771, surpassing Ben Gordon. The team also set another record with three turnovers, two less than the previous team record of five set three years ago.

"I'm really pleased with the way we shared the ball,'' Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "The movement of the basketball was as good as it has been. For the fourth game in five nights, I liked our energy."

"If we play like that, we are a tough team to beat,'' Hinrich said.

The Bulls are now 29-26 and remain two games behind Toronto (31-24) for the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They opened a full game lead on Miami for the sixth spot after the Heat lost at Dallas Saturday.

All of this success for a team criticized for throwing the season away by some when they traded Tyrus Thomas and John Salmons to get Warrick, Murray and two other players last week before the trading deadline.

"The new guys are getting a feel for everything,'' Del Negro said.

Warrick, received in trade from Milwaukee for Salmons, was noticeably comfortable in his new role as backup forward. He was the first Bulls player to reach double figures in scoring Saturday, and added three assists and two blocked shots to his impressive night's total. Two of his assists came on consecutive dunks by Gibson in the fourth quarter, making it look like he and Gibson had played together for years rather than hours.

"Even though we haven't played together, we were just playing basketball,'' Warrick said. "We have been playing basketball all of our lives. It was just working for us tonight."

With 5:19 left in the second quarter, Andre Iguodala made two free throws for the 76ers to put them ahead 38-35. They did not score again until Thaddeus Young made a free throw with 27 seconds left and the Bulls had taken a 56-38 lead at that point.

"We wanted to be aggressive,'' Del Negro said. "We got on the glass a little bit and controlled the tempo."

"We turned it up on defense and got some stops,'' Warrick said. "It allowed us to get out and get some easy buckets."

"We took a lot of jump shots and they did a good job of getting rebounds and pushing the fast break,'' Iguodala said.

In the second half, the 76ers never got closer than 16 points.

The 32-point victory came the same week the Bulls recorded a 33-point win in their previous home win against New York Tuesday. In between were road wins at New York and Minnesota, and the Bulls play Washington and Indiana twice next week, as well as host a game against Portland.

""We are confident and playing really good basketball,'' said Bulls guard Derrick Rose (17 points, game-high six assists). "The new guys have come in and given us more depth. It really tells you something about them. They are just ballplayers. I'm really excited about the guys we have here right now."

A very slow first quarter was livened up by the reappearance of Bulls center Joakim Noah, who missed the previous eight games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Noah made his return to live action with 3:33 left in the first quarter and the score tied at 22.

In the last minute of the quarter, he had a chance to get his first points of the game on a wide-open breakaway dunk with the entire Philadelphia team on the other end of the floor. But Noah's dunk hit the back of the rim and bounced far away from the basket.

"It was good to be back out there, but I'm not happy to have a missed dunk,'' Noah said. "I was excited and tried to put too much on it."

There was certainly no indication in the game's first 17 minutes that either team was going to go on a 21-0 run. Neither team had led by more than four points before the Bulls took control of the game.

"They did everything right tonight,'' Philadelphia guard Allen Iverson said. "They were finding the open man and just making the right plays."

The 76ers, on the other hand, shot just 38 percent for the game, and managed no rally after the game got out of hand.

"There was no intensity or effort to get back into it,'' Philadelphia coach Eddie Jordan said.
