Old Bulls Fill It Up Against Indiana
Theus 15 assists in coming out party

Reggie Theus is really going to like passing the ball to young Michael Jordan. Theus ran the show like a composer on opening night at Chicago Stadium dishing out 15 assists while Jordan threw down 30 points as the Bulls beat the 2013 Pacers in a high scoring game 128-124.

The Bulls were also aided by Artis Gilmore who always seems to shoot at a high percentage. Gilmore also had one of the highlights of the night when he blocked a Roy Hibbert dunk in emphatic fashion. Orlando Wooldridge also played well with 3 blocks and fouble digit scoring while Rod Higgins hit a big three pointer late in the game to secure a tight win.

"We are so much better then people think we are" says Theus after the win, "it really is fun to run the floor with these guyes."

Can a young Jordan compete for a scoring title? It will be hard to say, but a sharp shooting Reggie Miller scored 35 points in the loss with 4 three pointers. Miller and Paul George also looked good on the court as the Pacers surely have more to build on.

Webber Leads 4th Quarter Rally For Kings
Sacramento overturns 18 point deficit for win

It all looked like it was going to be the perfect opening night for the 2007 Warriors. They had the 2002 Kings frustrated and right where they wanted them up 18 points in the 3rd quarter and their stars like Baron Davis and Rick Barry silencing the California crowd.

Basketball can be a wirlwind sometimes, and the Kings came out a new team in the fourth quarter; one of belief and fortitude. Chris Webber lead the way with 34 points including two clutch shots with under a minuted to play. Sacramento outscored the Warriors 36-18 in the final frame with Vlade Divac adding 10 assists and alot of leadership.

"Sometimes we have to look at each other and determine we need to give more" said Divac, "thats what we did tonight. We do not want to leave the floor embarrassed even if we lose."

A Davis three pointer came up short as time expired and the Warriors now look to pick up the pieces, after dropping a game they were sure they had.

"On to the next one" says Stephen Jackson.
