The Chicago Bulls keep on with their 7th success in 8 games, yesterday against the New Jersey Nets.
In spite of the absence of Ben Wallace, who's always ill, and Andres Nocioni, who might be back on Sunday at Toronto, the team could count on his collective spirit to maintain the rate of play.
Ben Gordon scored 27 points, Luol Deng added 24 and catched 12 rebounds. Hinrich scored 20 points, gave 5 assists and took 6 rebounds.
By taking a ten or so points of advantage during the first quarter, the Bulls fought to preserve this lead and finished with 15 points at the halftime.
In opposition to the last matchs (they had already lost 2 games against them after building 18-point leads this season), the Scott Skiles team succeeded this time to maintain the gap and the Carter and Kidd's team could not come back.
Thabo was again in the starters, with about 37 minutes of time of play, he scored 9 points and took 9 rebounds.
The Bulls will meet again the Nets on the last regular season game, the 18th of April, and keep their 2nd place in the Eastern Conference.
