Blackhawks Fall To Columbus Again more ›

If you thought the Bulls were struggling, that's nothing compared to Detroit which was handed its 13th straight loss last night by the Bulls, 120-87. Luol Deng (27 points) and Derrick Rose (22 points) both shot well last night and Joakim Noah had a 16-11-4 in the winning effort. Overall, the team shot 57 percent from the floor, a marked improvement. It's the Bulls second straight win and brings them to 3-3 in 2010 and 16-20 overall on the season. Next up for the Bulls is a trip to Boston on Thursday (7 p.m., TNT) followed by a home game against the Wizards on Friday (7 p.m., WCIU) before, like their roommates the Blackhawks, they get kicked out of the UC for two weeks to make way for Disney on Ice. more ›

The Blackhawks kept rolling into the New Year burning the New Jersey Devils 5-1, the 'Hawks eighth win in their last 10 games. Five different Blackhawks scored: Troy Brouwer on a power play in the first followed by Ben Eager; Andrew Ladd in the second; and Jonathan Toews and John Madden in the third. With a little over a minute and a half left to secure another shutout, Cristobal Huet let one slip by him, the only New Jersey goal of the night, he had 26 saves on the night. The 'Hawks try to keep rolling as 2010 starts in St. Louis tomorrow night (7 p.m., CSN). more ›

The Bulls ended a five game losing streak with a 92-85 victory over Detroit last night. Making the win even sweeter for the team: it was their first game back from the Circus Trip, a victory over one of their rivals, and a victory over former Bull Ben Gordon. John Salmons again paced the Bulls with 22 points and Derrick Rose added 19. As for Gordon, he played well for Detroit, scoring 18 points off the bench. Said Salmons after the victory, "We've had some games that we could have won, should have won, could have won. Now we have to take advantage of all these upcoming home games." The Bulls now...go back on the road to Cleveland for a game on Friday (7 p.m., ESPN/WCIU). But fear not, Bulls fans, the team has nine more home games remaining this month, so plenty of chances to catch the team in person. more ›
