Surging Bulls Fend Off Nuggets
CHICAGO, Jan. 25 (Ticker) -- Eddy Curry shook off an injury, enabling the Chicago Bulls to hold off the Denver Nuggets. Curry, who did not start due to a strained right groin, had 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter as the surging Bulls ran their home winning streak to six games with a 111-107 triumph over the Nuggets. The Bulls' young center, who is third in the NBA in shooting percentage, made 7-of-9 shots. He scored nine points in a pivotal 11-6 spurt early in the final period. Rookie Ben Gordon also chipped in late, burying a key 3-pointer with 31 seconds to go. He scored 18 points. Chicago improved to 21-10 since starting the season 0-9 and has held 27 straight opponents under 100 points - the longest current streak in the NBA. The Bulls also are 9-9 against the Western Conference this season and one of just five East teams at .500 or better against the West. Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points for Denver (17-24), which fell to 4-9 under interim coach Michael Cooper.
Don't forget folks to tune in for the NBA All Star Game on Feb. 20th in Denver. It will be exciting. I have hope the Denver Nuggets will make the playoffs again. Carmelo Anthony being only 19 years old still has a lot of good years ahead of him.
