CHICAGO -- After another dominating performance, nothing could wipe the smile from Joakim Noahs face. Jonathan Huberdeau Jersey . Noah had 21 points and 16 rebounds, Carlos Boozer added 15 points and 13 boards, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Philadelphia 76ers 103-78 on Saturday night. "I havent felt healthy like this in a long time. My feet dont hurt, my bodys feeling good," Noah said. "I put in a lot of work in the summertime. The third day of camp I got hurt (strained groin). It was an unfortunate setback, but now Im feeling like its all coming together." Noah extended his streak of double-digit rebound games to 12, the longest stretch of his career. The duos powerful performance was awfully similar to the teams last meeting at the United Center, when Noah posted a triple-double and combined with Boozer for 44 points and 33 rebounds on Feb. 28, 2013. "You cant play any better than (Noah is) playing right now, in every aspect of the game," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The defence has been there all season, the rebounding off the charts, but the playmaking, the quick decisions, the multiple effort . it sets the tone for the team." Chicago (19-20) has won seven of nine games in 2014. The Bulls led by as many as 36, their largest lead this season. D.J. Augustin scored nine points and dished out seven assists in the pivotal second quarter, in which Chicago extended its lead from five to 20. He finished with 19 points and eight assists. Only three 76ers scored in double digits, Thaddeus Young leading the way with 12 points. James Anderson had 11 points and seven rebounds for Philadelphia (13-27), which has dropped six of seven. Augustin brought the fans to their feet two minutes into the second when he threaded a cross-court bounce pass to Jimmy Butler, who finished strong with a thunderous slam. Augustin later fed Noah on a two-handed dunk in transition to cap the dominating quarter. Noah and Augustin combined to make eight of 10 shots in the second period, outscoring Philadelphia 17-12. Augustin has been a spark since the Bulls signed him on Dec. 13. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.5 points with Chicago and has led the team in assists 11 times. The Bulls are 11-8 with Augustin on the roster, and 7-2 in 2014 -- their only two losses coming to the Washington Wizards within the last six days. "Im just going out there, playing freely, doing whatever Coach needs me to do, whatever my teammates need me to do," Augustin said. "Basically, just trying to get them the ball, trying to get them open. At the same time, Coach wanted me to look (to score) for myself." The 76ers missed all 11 3-point attempts in the first half and committed 17 total turnovers. Philadelphia shot 35.1 per cent from the floor (10.5 per cent from 3-point range) and has turned the ball over 64 times in its last three games. "(The Bulls) play really good defence," 76ers coach Brett Brown said. "In general we struggled finding ways to play freely, to get out in the open court, and the physicality of the game wore us down." The Bulls have won nine of their last 10 regular-season games against the 76ers, who rallied from 20 points down on Nov. 2 to halt a five-game skid against Chicago in a 107-104 victory in Philadelphia. There would be no comeback this time. Spencer Hawes, who averaged 19 points and 13 rebounds in his last two games against Chicago, was largely ineffective. The 7-foot-1 centre had nine points and six rebounds. Michael Carter-Williams scored 10 points and dished out five assists. He had 26 and 11 in the November meeting. "Thats how it goes," Hawes said. "You go through stretches like that, and who knows, the next two or three games maybe we come out and cant miss. Its a long season." Philadelphia guard Tony Wroten sprained his right ankle in the second quarter when he stepped on Nazr Mohammeds foot awkwardly, staying on the ground for a couple minutes. He limped off the court gingerly with the help of his teammates and did not return. Brown couldnt give a timetable after the game, but said "it looked bad." Notes: The Bulls agreed to trade point guard Marquis Teague to the Brooklyn Nets for F Tornike Shengelia, a person with knowledge of the deal said Saturday. Teague was dressed but did not play. "Marquis is a good, young player. Hes had some good moments," Thibodeau said. "Hes had some moments that he can obviously do better, but thats to be expected. When you come into this league as young as he is, thats what youre going to get. Hes much further along today than he was when he was first drafted." ... Philadelphia F/C Lavoy Allen (left knee) scored six points in 15 minutes, playing for the first time since Jan. 7. He had missed four games. Colton Sceviour Jersey . Jimmy Howard made 44 saves and Henrik Zetterberg scored two goals, leading the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. MacKenzie Weegar Panthers Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. http://www.hockeypanthersofficialonline.com/mackenzie-weegar-hockey-jersey/ .com) - Oregon wasnt going to let Arizona ruin its national title dreams for a second straight season.(SportsNetwork.com) - The collective hearts of Chicago Bulls fans sank on Friday night when Derrick Rose went down with a leg injury against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They can breathe slightly easier Saturday. Dont worry, its just an ankle sprain, Rose said after a 114-108 overtime home loss. I guess its part of the process. Of course the gods are testing me right now, but its fine. I think Ill be able to get through it. Rose believes he might even give it a go Saturday night when his Bulls visit the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center. The former MVP scored 18 points in the first half against LeBron James, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and company. He injured the ankle and only managed two points in the third quarter before leaving the game for good. Rose and Kirk Hinrich, starting in place of Jimmy Butler, who missed his second straight with a thumb injury, each had 20 for the Bulls. Pau Gasol netted 15 points with nine boards and six blocks, and Mike Dunleavy added 14 points in the setback. Aaron Brooks chipped in 11 off the bench, while Taj Gibson and Tony Snell both scored 10. James scored the first eight points for Cleveland in overtime and the Bulls never truly recovered. The Bulls shot 45.6 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from beyond the 3- point arc. They outshot the Cavs, but 20 turnnovers and a 10-point deficit on the boards hurt Chicago. Mike Hoffman Jersey. The Wolves dropped their season-opener Wednesday in Memphis, 105-101. One night later, Minnesota captured its home opener, 97-91, over the Detroit Pistons. Against Detroit, Nikola Pekovic had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Thaddeus Young posted 19 points, Ricky Rubio supplied 11 points and eight assists and Mo Williams added 13 points and four assists for Minnesota. Good win overall, I thought that we played pretty good defense for most of the game. Played hard, played aggressive, Wolves head coach Flip Saunders said. Kevin Martin scored 12 points off the bench in his first action of the season. He missed the Grizzlies game due to a sore ankle. Its unknown if Martin will return to the starting lineup, where he was a fixture last season. Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 overall pick in this summers draft, has started in Martins absence and has averaged 7.0 ppg in his first two games as a professional. Minnesota hits the road next week with visits scheduled in Brooklyn, Orlando and Miami. The Timberwolves bested the Bulls in Chicago on Jan. 27 and snapped a seven- game losing streak in the series. The Bulls won in Minnesota later in the season and have taken five consecutive as the visitor in this series. ' ' '
