The Phoenix tested out their new Whip with all those moving parts finally in place talking PG Brandon "Knight Rider" Knight. Yes the "Knight Rider" had 13 points but it was the Bulls behind the Bench Mob getting it done late in the 3rd and into the 4th that bails out the "West Side Story Report" at the Madhouse.

Behind a game-high 22 points and fourteen boards from Pau Pau Pau and the Bulls Bench Mob answering the Suns Bench not so much in production but in the time of need the Bulls get a hard-fought 112-107 win.

Jimmy Butler added 19 points with Derrick Rose 16 points as "See Red" 50% from the Arc and 16 free throw attempts (doubling Phoenix 8) was the difference in numbers. Taj Gibson 12 pts 4 rebs), Aaron Brooks (12 pts 5 asst), Nikola Mirotic (8 pts), and Tony Snell (5 pts) all came at the right time. That money ball by Pau Pau Pau that made it 83-81 Suns at the end of three was huge!

The Bulls started the 4th down 83-81 went on a 23-18 run to the 1:30 mark left in the 4th leading 106-99. Phoenix got to within one but the Bulls close them out at the line as the Suns missed two huge money ball attempts.

P.J. Tucker led the Suns with 20 points and six boards with Marcus Morris off the bench adding 17 points. Phoenix now falls to 29-27 in the West where there is no margin for error! Chicago moves to 35-21 staying ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for now who will add Kendrick Perkins once he agrees to a buyout from the Jazz.

Bulls get the new "Fear the Deer" Bucks on Monday Night February 23 at 8pm CT as they have just released starting center Larry Sanders.
