No. 1 Seed In Reach For Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are closing in on the No. 1 seed, ahead of the Boston Celtics by three games. The Chicago Bulls haven't brought this kind of excitement since the Michael Jordan era.
Joakim Noah has a pretty good idea what to expect on Thursday night.
The Chicago Bulls host the Boston Celtics in a game that could have a big impact on the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and he anticipates a charged atmosphere at the United Center.
He says it's "going to be a zoo" and "very exciting."
These, indeed, are exciting times in Chicago.
With 16 wins in 18 games and the No. 1 seed in reach, the Bulls haven't had it this good since the Michael Jordan championship era.
They are three games ahead of Miami and Boston after hanging on to beat Phoenix on Tuesday. A win over the Celtics would all but eliminate them from the race for the top seed. The Bulls would be four games ahead of them with four to go in the regular season.
