Bulls-Magic Preview

Posted Apr 09 2011 7:24PM

The Chicago Bulls have clinched the Eastern Conference's top seed, but first-year coach Tom Thibodeau isn't planning on resting his stars.

Not when they have a chance to finish with the NBA's best record and earn home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Bulls appear to have a good chance of adding to their win total Sunday when they visit a short-handed Orlando Magic team that will be without Dwight Howard.

Chicago (59-20) secured the East's best record Friday with a 93-82 win over Cleveland, its sixth straight victory and 18th in 20 games. It's the first time the Bulls captured the East's top seed since 1997-98, the most recent of their six NBA championships with Michael Jordan.

"Last year we qualified on the last day and now we are the No. 1 seed," Joakim Noah said.

"It's good to be the No. 1 seed, but at the end of the day we understand that there is a bigger picture," Noah added. "We're staying focused. It's definitely an achievement and we're excited about it."

Led by MVP front-runner Derrick Rose, Chicago is trying to catch West-best San Antonio for the NBA's top record, and home-court advantage if it should advance to the NBA Finals.

"You want to put as many things going in your favor as possible," Thibodeau said. "It doesn't guarantee anything, but that's how you have to approach it."

The Bulls appear to be catching a break by facing a Magic team that will be without Howard.

Stan Van Gundy had recently voiced his displeasure with the media essentially crowning Rose the MVP, but his choice for the award won't get an opportunity to impress voters Sunday.

Howard will serve an automatic one-game suspension for picking up his 18th technical foul in Wednesday's 111-102 overtime victory over Charlotte. Quentin Richardson is also suspended for two games for shoving Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson in the face.

Howard received his latest technical after referee Bennett Salvatore called a 10-second violation before the five-time All-Star center attempted a free throw late in the second quarter. Howard then tossed the ball away from the officials, and Salvatore immediately gave him a technical.

"I don't see a lot of people getting called for it," Howard said. "I was really upset about it."

Howard has previously given the Bulls trouble inside. He had a season high-tying 40 points and 15 rebounds in Chicago on Jan. 28, but the Bulls still pulled out a 99-90 victory.

Chicago has won the last two games against Orlando (50-29) after losing the first meeting of the season 107-78 on Dec. 1, in Carlos Boozer's Bulls debut.

Boozer had one of his best games of the season Friday, finishing with 24 points on 12 of 18 shooting and 11 rebounds. That helped offset an off night by Rose, who finished with 11 points, his second-lowest output of the season.

Rose also hasn't enjoyed as much success against Orlando this year, averaging 20.3 points on 37.0 percent shooting.

Although the Magic, who have already locked up the East's fourth seed, will be without Howard and Richardson, they received an encouraging performance from Gilbert Arenas on Friday.

Arenas started for just the second time since being acquired by Orlando on Dec. 18, and finished with 25 points on 9 of 14 shooting in 45 minutes to help the Magic secure their fourth consecutive 50-win season. Arenas, who had combined for 17 points on 4 of 28 shooting in his previous four games, scored 30 in Chicago on Nov .13, while playing for Washington.

Bulls fight off Magic charge for 102-99 victory

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The matchup Sunday between the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic had the potential to be a preview of a possible second-round playoff pairing between two of the Eastern Conference's top four teams.

Instead, with the Magic missing several pieces, it wound up providing the latest reason why Chicago's Derrick Rose could be inching closer to his first MVP award.

Rose had 39 points and five assists, and Luol Deng added 15 points to help the Bulls hold off the Magic 102-99. Rose also was 10 for 10 at the foul line, which proved to be vital in staving off a late Magic charge.

Orlando's Jameer Nelson appeared to tie it with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but an official review upheld an initial call of no basket. Ryan Anderson led the Magic with a career-high 28 points, Jason Richardson added 24 and Nelson had 17.

"We had them," Rose said. "We should have easily put them away. But we continue to let teams come back. It's going to hurt us if we continue to do this. But we're definitely happy with this win. We've got to learn how to put teams away."

Chicago won its seventh in a row and for the 19th time in 21 games. The Bulls also kept alive their chances of finishing with the NBA's best record, which would give them home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

"They played extremely well. It wasn't a good game for us," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Our defense wasn't very good, our rebounding was below average and we didn't take care of the ball. We were fortunate (to) win."

The Magic dropped to 1-3 without center Dwight Howard. He sat out Sunday, serving his second suspension of the season after picking up his 18th technical foul.

The possible playoff preview was spoiled not only by Howard's absence, but also that of Magic sixth man J.J. Redick and reserve Quentin Richardson. Redick missed his 15th straight game with a lower abdominal strain. Richardson served the first of a two-game suspension for shoving Charlotte's Gerald Henderson in the face in last week's win over the Bobcats.

But thanks to hot outside shooting, the Magic didn't seem to miss a beat without them.

Chicago led just 80-77 entering the fourth quarter, after fighting off several runs by Orlando in the third.

The Magic forced six ties over the first eight minutes of the final period before Brandon Bass' free throw and Jason Richardson's layup gave the Magic a 94-91 lead with 2:46 to play.

A pair of free throws by Rose trimmed the lead to 94-93, and his dunk off a Magic turnover gave Chicago the lead back again, 95-94, with 2 minutes left.

Chicago led 97-96 when Rose lost the ball out of bounds, turning it over to Orlando with 49 seconds remaining. The Magic turned it back over to the Bulls during a loose-ball scramble following a missed shot, and Taj Gibson was fouled with 14.2 seconds left. He hit 1 of 2 at the line, but Chicago was able to chase down the rebound.

The ball found its way into Rose's hands, and he hit both free-throw attempts to make it 100-96. Richardson finally got a 3 to go in with 2.7 seconds left, but Carlos Boozer hit two more free throws to push the lead back to 102-99 with 2 seconds to go and set up Nelson's final attempt.

The Magic hit 12 3-pointers to keep them in the game, but shot just 43 percent overall and gave up 40 points in the paint. The 60 percent that Chicago shot for the game tied a season high for a Magic opponent.

But the Bulls also had an uncharacteristic 21 turnovers - including five by Rose - which tied a previous season high set in January against Boston.

"It is hard to believe you're even in the game," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "Their 21 turnovers were they only thing that kept us in the game. ... We didn't defend them well enough to win. They were breaking us down every time."

Shortcomings aside, with two games to play, Anderson said Sunday's effort did give them confidence about what they can do when they are moving the ball well and playing together.

"I think we just know how good a team we are," Anderson said. "I think when we come out and play the entire game like we did tonight, I think we can play against anybody...It gives us confidence because we played great. This is kind of the effort that we've been looking for."

Boozer said their goals of their final two games is clear.

"Winning, getting our tools sharp," Boozer said. "Heading into the playoffs, playing our best basketball."

Notes: Chicago hit 10 of its first 11 field goal attempts and shot 70 percent in the first quarter. ... With Howard out, Anderson made his 14th start of the season. ... Van Gundy said that while Miami Heat president Pat Riley would get Executive of the Year honors, Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman should win it. "They made a lot of changes and they were below Miami in the standings," Van Gundy said. "Now they are above Miami in the standings, so how could you not go with those guys?"

Magic-Bulls notebook

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com
Posted Sunday April 10, 2011 5:23PM

THE FACTS: Derrick Rose scored 39 points and forced Orlando's Jameer Nelson to take a game-tying shot a tenth of a second late, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 102-99 victory.

The Bulls' 60th victory was accomplished against a Magic team playing without center Dwight Howard, who was serving a one-game suspension for getting his 18th technical foul.

Ryan Anderson, starting at center for the Magic, scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

The final 50 seconds of the game included three replay reviews, including a look at Nelson's final 3-point shot, which left his hand a fraction of a second late after Rose's defense forced an extra move.

QUOTABLE: "I just wanted to make sure I contested (Nelson's shot). That was the biggest thing (coach Tom Thibodeau) was saying was to make sure you contest, but not foul him."
-- Rose, on Nelson's split-second-too-late jumper at the end.

THE STAT: After outrebounding the Magic, 50-30, in their last meeting on March 4, the Bulls had a modest 37-33 advantage in this game.

QUOTABLE II: "In the last game, we rebounded the ball great and they had Howard. Tonight they spread us out and the only people I saw on that board, fighting for it, were the Magic."
-- Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.

TURNING POINT: When a replay review gave the ball to the Magic with 49.7 seconds left, they were down 97-96 and working for a shot. The ball went out of bounds again with 32.3 seconds left, and this time a review gave the ball to the Bulls, who never gave up the lead.

HOT: Having earned the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed in spite of mediocre 46 percent shooting for the season, the Bulls shot 60 percent against Orlando. Rose shot 13-for-17 and made all 10 of his free throws, stretching his streak at the foul line to 29.

NOT: The Magic's Brandon Bass and Gilbert Arenas shot a combined 4-for-19.

QUOTABLE III: "Because Dwight (Howard) wasn't in the game, guys had to create a little bit more to fill in for him. We obviously had to get to the offensive rebounds more. When he's out you have to work extra hard, and today I think we did a great job fighting the whole game."
--Ryan Anderson

IN THE ARENA: Not the Magic's Dwight Howard or Quentin Richardson, who were serving one-game and two-game suspensions, respectively.

QUOTABLE IV: "We played hard, we tried to win a game, we didn't get it done. Other than taking another loss, I don't know what meaning there is to this."
-- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Rose, who leads NBA guards in points plus rebounds plus assists per game at 37.0, raised his average with 39 points, five assists and three rebounds.

ROOKIE WATCH: Bulls center Omer Asik had two points, one assist and one block in 14 minutes.

NOTABLE: The Bulls have won 49 of their last 61 games . . . This is the sixth time the Bulls have won 60 games in a season. They went on to NBA titles after each of the the first five times, most recently in 1997-98 . . . The Magic are 1-3 without Howard, who has been suspended for two games and missed two more with the flu.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Tuesday @ New York, Wednesday vs. New Jersey, then a first-round playoff series against Indiana. For the Magic, Monday @ Philadelphia, Wednesday vs. Indiana, then a first-round playoff series against Atlanta.
