CHICAGO -- Joakim Noah propelled the Chicago Bulls to a 94-87 victory over the visiting Sacramento Kings Saturday night at the United Center.
The Bulls pulled out the win in an offensively challenged battle where they made just 31 of 78 (39.7 percent) field goals while the Kings made just 31 of 85 shots (36.5 percent). .
Chicago's big men were dominant in Saturday's tiff. Noah led the way with a well rounded 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists; barely missing a triple double while Taj Gibson chipped in with a solid 19 points and 9 rebounds.
Center DeMarcus Cousins helped carry the load for the Sacramento Kings by contributing 25 points and 14 rebounds. Point guard Isaiah Thomas played a game high 42 minutes while scoring 26 points.
The close win pushed the Bulls to their second straight victory at home. Their record has improved to 37-29 and they are in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with the playoffs right around the corner.
Chicago will next play the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday, March 17th at the United Center. The Thunder are an impressive 48-17 and will face off against the Bulls in what will be a playoff-like atmosphere. (JZ)
