Bulls win after a thrilling last minute in Chicago
Those two lads were the best for the Lakers,but failed to tie the game twice
The Chicago Bulls,days after the announcement of Pippen's honor,got back in action facing the Los Angeles Lakers at the United Center ,with former Coach Phil Jackson in the stand,now the Bulls Vice President.His place was taken by the Lakers' Legend Magic Johnson,who played his first game with the Lakers tonight,after knowing the team better,assisting Brian Shaw for 2 weeks,in order to get in coaching rythms.
Heading into the game the Bulls outscored the Lakers in the first half,leading by 15.Deng was having a great game being the leader both in offense and defence and running the tempo in the first half for the Bulls.Carlos Boozer was quiet in the first half ,and not scored despite playing much time,in his first game back from injury.Rose and Gordon were a great supporting cast and the Bulls seem healthy enough to win easily.
But the Lakers outscored the Bulls 32-22 in the 3rd and got the lead down to 5.This run continued at the 4th as well with the Lakers having an 11-2 run until 5 minutes before the end.But Rose and the Bulls stepped up and with him having more of a Forward than a Point Guard(24 points,9 rebounds and 8 assists).The managed to have a 3 point lead with 1.35 minutes remaining.
But the Lakers weren't over yet.At 50 seconds Kobe tied a game with a three pointer,Bulls went twice to the line as LA made a turnover and the foul.On the second set of free throws though Gordon missed the second,and Lakers had another chance.At 32 seconds Fisher made a 2 point shot and fouled quickly Deng.He made the two free throws.The Ball went to Kobe(as always).He got down the left flank,but got Double teamed.He faked the shot and decided to try a way hard three pointer.At the air though he changed his mind and gave a pass which got blocked though by Deng,who was fouled.
Deng missed both free throws and with 3.4 seconds remaining Gasol shoot the ball from his free throw line(!) which passed so near from the basket,that a huge relief sigh was heard all over the United Center ,followed by cheers.The Bulls won another one,having a 7-game winning streak

I don't know, that's a fairly realistic representation of some of Kobe's less than stellar moments on the court.
Chicago Bulls no problem beating the Wizards(simulated)

Bulls dominant against the Celtics
The Chicago Bulls were dominant in todays match against the Celtics, having no problem beating them with ease.In a match where Boozer was finally back in full action,he was the team's leader,with another double double,scoring 22dishing points and 10 rebounds.Derrick Rose didn't step up in the game,as he was practically unneeded in the scoring part,with 16 points,scoring 16 points,but on the creative part he was great again dishing 10 assists.
In the game though,if Bulls' Coach Scottie Pippen,didn't rest the starters in the most of the 4th quarter,the lead would be Sky-High for the Bulls,but at the end the Celtics managed to short it out with Garnett being one of the few trying today.
