Phoenix (8-1) was the NBA's hottest team heading into their showdown with Chicago Friday night. Well, the streaking Bulls cooled them off with a 101-93 win. That makes it Chicago's fifth straight win. It was another big win on their eight game road trip. They also remain undefeated on the road at 5-0. "I'm happy with the way we've started this road trip. But were not even halfway done and its only going to get harder" said Tom Thibodeau.

Chicago got their best contribution of the year from Rip Hamilton. Rip shot the ball really well from the field going 10-13. "Derrick found me early tonight and got me going. I'm feeling more and more comfortable every night here" said Hamilton. The Bulls collectively shot well from the field at 53%. Derrick Rose scored 21 while dishing out 15 assists. Luol Deng continued his strong play with 17 points and 9 boards.
