Bulls-Warriors Preview

While the slumping Chicago Bulls still sit comfortably in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, they didn't look anything like a contender their last time out.

Things aren't about to get any easier with a visit to the Bay.

The Bulls look to snap their longest road losing streak in three seasons Friday night against the Golden State Warriors, who have dominated this series at home.

Averaging 92.1 points to rank 29th in the league, Chicago (35-29) has been limited to an even uglier 81.4 during a five-game skid in opposing arenas. The Bulls appeared to hit rock bottom Wednesday in a 121-79 rout at Sacramento, dropping to 6-11 since Feb. 4.

Chicago, which hasn't lost six straight on the road since Feb. 22-March 17, 2010, was atop the Central Division and 2 1/2 games out of first place in the East before sputtering. It's now tied for fifth with Boston and Atlanta, but seems assured of making the playoffs with a 10 1/2-game lead over ninth-place Toronto.

"Our level of intensity was very poor. Our readiness to play was very poor," said coach Tom Thibodeau, whose team committed 17 turnovers and only forced five. "But I'm probably most disappointed in me. It's my job to have them ready. We can't come out like that, that's on me. I have to drive (them) harder and I will."

The Bulls shot 38.6 percent - the fourth straight game it was under 39.0. In addition to Derrick Rose's season-long absence, Chicago continues to play without forward Taj Gibson (knee) and veteran guards Richard Hamilton (back) and Kirk Hinrich (foot).

"I think we all have to look at ourselves in the mirror and understand that we're not competing the way that we're supposed to be competing. Got a lot of guys out, the margin for error is very small," Joakim Noah told the team's official website.

"It's no time to make excuses. We need to find a way to bounce back. We just have to move on fast and get ready for Golden State. They are a lot better team than (the Kings)."

While the Bulls handily got by the Warriors 103-87 on Jan. 25 behind Hinrich's season-high 25 points, wins haven't been easy to come by at Golden State. Chicago has dropped 11 of 13 road meetings in the series, including the last three by an average of 12.0 points.

The Warriors (37-29) struggled through a brutal 3-10 stretch but have since won four of six to get back on track. Two nights after blowing out New York 92-63, Golden State beat Detroit 105-97 on Wednesday.

Stephen Curry led the way with 31 points and eight assists and David Lee posted his NBA-leading 43rd double-double with 20 points and 15 boards.

Winners of 10 of 13 at home, the Warriors sit in sixth place in the West and are hoping to make their first postseason appearance since 2006-07.

"I've been on a lot of teams where you're waiting for the season to be over," said Lee, averaging 21.0 points over his last five matchups versus Chicago. "It doesn't matter what else is going on because you're not in any kind of race. That's why this time of year is exciting and we're going to make the most of it."

Curry has averaged 23.3 points, 8.0 assists and 7.6 rebounds during Golden State's home winning streak over the Bulls. He's also gone 8 for 15 from 3-point range.

Chicago's Nate Robinson, who spent last season with the Warriors, had 22 points against them in January. He's scored 19 in each of the last two contests.

Bulls blitz Warriors in impressive rout, 113-95

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Embarrassed one game, handing out humiliation the next.

Such is life for the Chicago Bulls right now.

Luol Deng scored 23 points, Carlos Boozer had 21 points and nine rebounds, and the banged-up Bulls bounced back from their most lopsided loss of the season to whip the Golden State Warriors 113-95 on Friday night.

"I do know we have pride," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We've taken a hit. We've lost some guys along the way. Our guys will battle. We know that we're short-handed. But if we have the right intensity and we do it collectively, we have a chance. And we've shown it throughout the year."

Maybe this week more than any other.

Two nights after a 121-79 shellacking at Sacramento that renewed calls for Derrick Rose's return, the Bulls outscored the Warriors 38-17 in the third quarter en route to snapping a season-high, five-game road losing streak. They led by 36 points early in the fourth quarter before both sides cleared the benches.

Nate Robinson added 20 points and seven assists, while Joakim Noah finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago, which had lost four of five overall. The Bulls outshot the Warriors 52 to 45 percent and won the rebounding battle 43-34, though the final box score hardly showed how much of a blowout the game really was.

The Bulls had spent the past two days trying to regroup after being routed by one of the Western Conference's worst teams. The team held a meeting to re-emphasize what had made them such a tough out in recent years: pride and effort.

"The great thing about it is we kept it up for virtually the whole game," Boozer said. "It was fun to watch us play like that."

Jarrett Jack scored 20 points and David Lee had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors, who missed their first 11 shots from 3-point range before making their last three. Golden State ended its longest homestand 4-3.

"Loose balls, rebounds, screens, moving without the basketball - any way you want to measure playing with force, we failed," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said.

Chicago again played without Rose, the NBA's MVP of the 2010-11 season who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last April and whose possible return has fueled fodder in recent weeks. Kirk Hinrich (right foot), Taj Gibson (left knee) and Richard Hamilton (lower back) also remain out with injuries.

Both teams played with relatively small lineups - with the exception of Noah and Warriors center Andrew Bogut - and spread the floor, creating space all over the perimeter. Noah and Boozer gave Bogut and Lee fits with their interior passing, rampant rebounding and overall energy to outwork the Warriors throughout.

The Bulls blitzed the Warriors at the end of the first half and at the start of the second.

After Lee's dunk tied the score at 44, Chicago went on a 20-2 run that showed the kind of heart and hustle that has defined the Thibodeau Era: Boozer dove on the floor to squirt the ball away from Jack, and Jimmy Butler converted a difficult layup over Lee on the other end to start a three-point play.

"One of the best hustle plays all season," Robinson said.

Marco Belinelli opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, and then Robinson - who played 51 games for the Warriors last season - intercepted a pass from Harrison Barnes for an easy layup. Deng stole another pass from Klay Thompson, and Robinson capped the spurt by tipping in Deng's miss.

Headed for a possible playoff berth for only the second time since 1994, Golden State came up short in front of a 23rd straight sellout crowd announced at 19,596. Even Stephen Curry tried to dunk on an open fast break late in the second quarter, though at least Barnes swooped in to slam the miss.

"This was an embarrassing performance by us, point blank," said Curry, held to eight points and four assists on 2-for-13 shooting.

The rest of the game turned into a series of Chicago highlights, including a put-back slam and a slash to the rim for another dunk by Boozer - both on slow rotations by third-string center Andris Biedrins, who later just grazed the bottom of the net on a free throw.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob sat in in his courtside seat looking miserable. At the end of the third quarter, he rested his chin on his fist and just stared at the scoreboard: Bulls 94, Warriors 63.

Co-owner Peter Guber moved four seats over to chat with Lacob during the break. A large chunk of Warriors' fans filed out of the arena, and some even booed.

"It's embarrassing to us, to the organization, to the coaching staff, to the fans," Jackson said.

NOTES: Rose went through pregame warm-ups as he has for the past couple of weeks. Asked again how Rose is progressing, Thibodeau remained vague. "He's fine. He keeps getting better," Thibodeau said. ... The Warriors wore their short-sleeve jerseys with pinstripe shorts for the third and final time this season.

Notebook: Bulls 113, Warriors 95

Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com
Posted Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:01 AM - Updated Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:01 AM

THE FACTS: The Chicago Bulls looked like a team coming off a 42-point win Friday night, not one that had lost by the same margin.

Chicago put all five starters in double figures, shot 55.6 from the field through three quarters and held the Golden State Warriors without a 3-point make through much of a 113-95 romp at Oracle Arena.

The blowout represented a giant turnaround from the Bulls' 121-79 loss in Sacramento on Wednesday, the worst defeat of coach Tom Thibodeau's three seasons in Chicago.

Luol Deng had a game-high 23 points and Carlos Boozer added 21 points, nine rebounds. five assists and three steals as Chicago broke a five-game road losing streak.

Jarrett Jack tallied a team-high 20 points for the Warriors, whose lead over the Rockets for the Western Conference's sixth spot dropped to one game -- with a road trip to Houston looming on Sunday.

QUOTABLE: "I thought we came out aggressive on both sides, offense and defense. We were locked into what we were doing, we executed well, and we did a great job on defense, trying to make their best players take tough shots. And the great thing about it is, we kept it up for virtually the whole game. It was fun to watch us play like that."
-- Carlos Boozer

THE STAT: Stephen Curry, the NBA's leading 3-point shooter this season with 203, had made at least one trey in each of his last 53 games, a stretch dating back to Nov. 16. He went 0-for-5 from behind the arc Friday -- part of a 2-for-13, eight-point night -- and Golden State, which tops the league with a 39.8 percentage, missed their first 11 attempts, when the game was still in the balance.

TURNING POINT: When Thibodeau brought back Deng with 3:52 left in the second quarter, he removed shooting guard Marco Belinelli, choosing to leave sixth man Jimmy Butler in the game. The Bulls used Butler to attack Jack, eventually forcing the Warriors' sixth man off the floor as part of a 12-2 run to finish the quarter that built a 10-point halftime cushion for Chicago. When the Bulls opened the third period with eight straight points, the game was over.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Former Warriors guard Nate Robinson burned his old club for the second time in as many meetings this season, finishing with 20 points and seven assists.

GOOD MOVE: Thibodeau summed up his post-game speech from Wednesday in one word: "Try." Whatever the actual contents, they seem to have worked. The Bulls showed no signs of a hangover from their terrible previous performance, storming out to a double digit lead inside of seven minutes.

QUOTABLE II: "We had a good meeting. We ironed some things out. But the most important thing was the action on the floor; we had a great practice yesterday. Guys got after each other. There was the right intent, to improve and get right. I think when you concentrate and you put maximum effort into it, it leads to great intensity. And I thought we did that."
-- Tom Thibodeau

HOT: The Warriors dared Joakim Noah to shoot mid-range jumpers, and he knocked down all three shots outside 16 feet en route to a 7-for-8 night from the floor. All told, he collected 16 points and 13 rebounds.

NOT: Golden State went dreadfully cold while the Bulls asserted command during that 6 1/2-minute stretch bridging the second and third quarters, shooting 1-for-14 with four turnovers. Some of those possessions were engineered by the Bulls to have a high degree of difficulty -- somehow Chicago made Golden State think that having Harrison Barnes face up on All-Star Luol Deng 27 feet from the basket was the Warriors' best option -- but there were plenty of just plain misses on shots the Warriors would ordinarily make.

QUOTABLE III: "Very unacceptable. . . . From the jump ball all the way to the last play, they outplayed us. It's an embarrassment."
-- Jarrett Jack

ROOKIE WATCH: At least Warriors guard Kent Bazemore put his garbage time to good use, scoring 14 fourth-quarter points.

NOTABLE: This is the first time the Bulls cracked 100 points in their last 10 games. . . . This is the second time in three games wearing their short-sleeved alternate jerseys that the Warriors have allowed all five opposition starters to score in double figures.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Monday vs. Denver, Thursday vs. Portland, Saturday vs. Indiana. For the Warriors, Sunday @ Houston, Sunday @ New Orleans, Tuesday @ San Antonio.
