The Bulls won last night against the Los Angeles Lakers of Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant, at the United Center of Chicago.

With 5 points of difference at the final score (94-89), the Bulls did thus their 5th victory in a row and their 12th in 13 games.

Thabo played 20 minutes and scored 5 points, especially author of a reverse layup which delighted the public.

Kobe Bryant, the 4th best scorer of the league, was correctly contained in defense and scored therefore only 19 points, after his big performances of 53 and 45 points at the time of his last 2 games.

He also fouled out in the last minute of the game, giving thus 2 free-throws for our dear Thabo.

"That was big tonight", said Thabo after the game. "We really needed that one. Tonight, we really showed that we have a great team."

Luol Deng, 21 years old, realized again a big game by scoring 23 points and taking 12 defensive rebounds.
