Carlos Boozer pumps up the crowd at the UC Wednesday night.

The Chicago Bulls returned home with a bang Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs came into the contest a little banged up. While Tim Duncan was in the starting lineup, he did not play much due to a broken finger on his shooting hand. Dejaun Blair also played despite a sprained ankle. That didn't stop them from putting up a fight though. Spurs jumped out to a 33-25 lead after the first quarter. The Bulls tied it up at halftime 52-52. Bulls then came out in the second half strong outscoring the Spurs 29-20 in the third. That was the push they needed to close it out for a win.

With some of the Spurs big men banged up, Carlos Boozer took advantage down low scoring 27 points. Boozer really had a hot hand. Luol Deng played well scoring 15 of his 19 points in the second half. Derrick Rose had a tough game staying in foul trouble most of the night. John Lucas III came in and led the team well with 9 assists. "That is what this team is about. C.J. is hurt and D-Rose was in foul trouble. Next man up. I just came in and tried to find open guys." said Lucas after the game.

On another note, Center Dan Hicks was sent back to the D-League following the win. This news means we will likely see "The Turkish Hammer", Omer Asik return to the floor.

San Antonio Spurs (10-4) at Chicago Bulls (12-2)
