Owner Real Deal Posted December 8, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Joakim Noah was standing near the scorer's table during the first half, visibly upset with his team's performance while he was waiting to check back in. The Detroit Pistons were outworking his Chicago Bulls -- but Noah's big night was only beginning. "I just felt like our energy was just low, from the start of the game," Noah said. "It's just human reaction, when there's not a lot of people in the stands, to kind of put your guard down. I think we regrouped pretty well." Noah had 30 points and 23 rebounds, setting career highs in both categories and helping the Bulls beat Detroit for the 16th straight time, 108-104 on Friday night. "It's crazy to have numbers like that," Noah said. "I knew I was missing a lot of tips in the beginning of the game. In some arenas, they count as rebounds, and some other arenas, they don't. I'm happy they counted." Chicago trailed by as many as 17 points in the second quarter, but the Bulls rallied toward the end of the half and took control in the fourth. All five Chicago starters finished in double figures, including Carlos Boozer with 24 points. Luol Deng and Marco Belinelli scored 16 apiece. Rodney Stuckey led Detroit with 24 points and Brandon Knight added 21. The Pistons had 28 rebounds on the night, only five more than Noah had by himself.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121207_CHI@DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
