The Chicago Bulls grind one out where they only know how to Grit and Grind and that would be the Grind house on Beale Street in Memphis Tennessee. The Bulls took a 46-44 lead into the 2nd half and hold on never letting the Grizz get closer than three in the 4th frame to eke out a hard-fought 95-91 Victory.

The Bulls Charge was led by 3rd-year SF Jimmy Butler aka the See Red Butler 26 points as both Noah and Booz grab ten Oranges apiece with Booz also chipping in with 21 points. Back Up PG DJ Augustin has been a god send for the Bulls as he also does a Yeoman's Job of 10 points and nine helpers playing ion the Bulls 2nd line. The Bulls stayed in attack mode hence their 42 attempts from the Charity Stripe as they made 33 of them. That coming out of the Motel not settling for Jumpers helped them get this much-needed victory as for the Bulls in their present state they are all much-needed.

The Grizz 26 points , nine helpers, and six boards from Point God mike Conley Jr. as he continues to be the most consistent Grizz player night in and night out. the "Grind Father" Tony Allen added 13 points with PF @MacBO50 Zach Randolph relatively quiet with 10 and 10. Ex-Bulls 1st Rounder James Johnson looks to stay in a Grizzlies Uniform for at least through the 2013-14 season as he adds 13 points and ten rebounds and playing like a Man the didn't know what he had until he dropped into the D-League...imagine that! Imagine also the talent Wake Forest had with Johnson, Jeff Teague (Hawks), and Al Faraq Aminu (Pelicans) in one recruiting class...Ouch...as early defections derailed Wake Forest before they could reap any of those young man's benefits as Student-Athletes.

The Bulls move to 12-17 as they need a whole bunch of Lil Debbies on the Schedule if there are any to get back to that .500 mark. The Grizz 13-17 in the West is digging a whole they may never come out of until the 2014-15 season when everyone is 0-0.
