CHICAGO - Derrick Favors and the Utah Jazz wanted to match the intensity of the Chicago Bulls, and they certainly accomplished that goal on Wednesday night. Corey White Bills Jersey .Favours collected 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Utah had a strong defensive effort in a 97-77
victory over the Bulls.The Jazz held the Bulls to a season-low point total on
just 28-of-84 (33.3 per cent) shooting. The Bulls were averaging 103.1 points.I
think we just wanted to come out and be physical because we know Chicago is
gonna be physical, Favors said. We wanted to come out and match their intensity,
match their physicality and I think we did a good job of that.Gordon Hayward had
18 points for Utah (13-23), and Trey Burke scored 17. Seven of the Jazzs wins
have come on the road.I think it was a team effort; collectively, we played
great on the defensive end, Burke said. We knew they were one of the greater
defensive teams in the NBA, so we knew it was gonna be an aggressive game. I
think for 48 minutes we competed.Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 16 points and
11 rebounds, and reserve Taj Gibson added 15 points.Chicago point guard Derrick
Rose had just seven points on 3-for-15 shooting. The 2011 NBA MVP is shooting
25.5 per cent (28 for 110) in his last six games.We just wasnt making any shots;
I know I wasnt making any shots, Rose said. Losing the way we did tonight, it
hurt.The Bulls (25-11) went 3-2 on a five-game homestand. They are 11-7 at home
this season and have come out flat against teams with losing records a few
times.Youre always concerned, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. I dont want to
overreact, but I dont want to underreact, either.With outside temperatures
dropping below zero, the United Center was colder than usual — and the
first-half shooting was quite chilly for both teams.The Bulls were just 13 for
46 (28.3 per cent) from the field in the first half, including 0-for-13 shooting
by their starting backcourt of Rose (0 for 9) and Kirk Hinrich.Utah suffered
through 2-for-16 shooting over the first 10 minutes of the second quarter, but
closed the first half with an 8-2 spurt for a 36-32 halftime lead.The Jazz
carried the momentum into the second half, opening the third period with a 13-5
surge.Following a timeout, the Bulls responded with a 9-0 run to trim Utahs lead
to 49-46 with six minutes left in the third. Rose, who missed his first 10
shots, made back-to-back baskets on a driving layup and a short-range
floater.They had a chance to move even closer, but they had turnovers on
back-to-back possessions, and Utah increased its advantage to 63-51 heading into
the fourth quarter. The Jazz then opened the final period with a 14-3 run for a
77-54 lead with nine minutes to play.We caught them on a tough night, Utah coach
Quin Snyder said. But that doesnt diminish the fact that we were clicking a
little bit on the defensive end.WORK IN PROGRESSWith Rose mired in a slump,
Thibodeau tried to take the big view. Rose was sidelined by injuries for much of
the previous few seasons.You have to understand, hes been out for 2 1/2 years,
Thibodeau said. When you get away from that competition for 2 1/2 years, it
doesnt come back in a week. You have to compete in practice, you have to compete
getting yourself ready and you have to keep going.There are gonna be some bumps
in the road. As long as he keeps stringing games together, hell figure it out. I
have a lot of confidence in that.FORCE IN PAINTOne of the reasons for Utahs
strong defence was centre Rudy Gobert, who had 11 points, 14 rebounds and five
blocks. He also altered many Bulls attempts down low.TIP-INSJazz: Burke returned
after missing the previous game with strep throat. Center Enes Kanter (right
ankle sprain) missed his third straight game, and Alec Burks (left shoulder
surgery) and Rodney Hood (left foot inflammation) are out indefinitely.Bulls:
Forward Mike Dunleavy (right ankle) was listed as questionable, but missed his
third straight game. He might be ready to return over the weekend.UP NEXTJazz:
Visit Oklahoma City on Friday.Bulls: Visit Washington on Friday. Cardale Jones Bills Jersey .Russian security was tight at the Sochi Olympics this year, though it was not immediately clear
whether Putins comments would signal a different approach for the soccer
tournament. E. J. Manuel Jersey . Ryan Howard had five RBIs and Kendrick pitched sharply into the seventh inning to snap his 10-game
losing streak as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 9-0
Monday.CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Cliff Lee gave up a run in three innings, outpitching
fellow Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, but Adam Lind and Dan Johnson each
homered for the Toronto Blue Jays in 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies
on Tuesday night. Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young winner with Cleveland, allowed three
hits and struck out two. He matched up against the 2012 NL winner -- with the
New York Mets -- for the second time in six days. "Cliff was solid, a normal
outing for him," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He had his fastball
command and he made some good pitches. I thought he looked sharp." Dickey
yielded three runs and four hits in four innings of his second spring start. He
struck out two and walked three. "I felt strong, which is all I really care
about right now," Dickey said. "Being able to get up and down (for four innings)
early in spring, feeling great, thats important for me. Lind connected off
right-hander B.J. Rosenberg with two outs in the fourth inning. Marlon Byrd hit
an opposite-field homer in the third off Dickey. STARTING TIME Phillies: Lee
threw a perfect first inning en route to three sharp innings in his second
spring outing. The left-hander hasnt walked a batter in five spring innings. "Im
pretty happy with it," Lee said. "I know what my job is (this spring) and I know
what I need to do to prepare.. Marcus Easley Bills Jersey. . . Its just a matter of doing it." Blue Jays: Dickey hit the second batter he faced and walked
three but remained encouraged following his second start of the spring. "I had a
really good (knuckle) today," Dickey said. "The one that hit (Freddy) Galvis, it
broke three feet and just broke right into his shoe. Thats part of the deal; you
get one, it catches and goes that way. Thats tough. Other than that I felt
pretty good." BIG BYRD Byrd finished the game 2 for 3 and is hitting .385 in
five games this spring. The Phillies signed Byrd to a two-year, $16 million
free-agent contract to play right field and bat behind cleanup hitter
Ryan Howard. "Hes swinging a good bat and having consistent at-bats," Sandberg
said. "Hes a good bat for us and hes showing it early." TRAINERS ROOM Phillies:
Third baseman Cody Asche took batting practice with his teammates but was out of
the lineup for the second straight day. Asche was hit in the right hand with a
pitch from Pittsburghs Yao-Hsun Yang on Sunday. He could return to the lineup on
Wednesday against the Braves, according to Sandberg. "Hes a quick healer,"
Sandberg said. Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins was a late scratch from the
starting lineup. Rollins took part in pregame work with the team but has had
flu-like symptoms. Rollins illness kept him out of camp on Monday. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys ' ' '
