CHICAGO -- A rare triple-double was all well and good for Joakim Noah. More important for him was this: the Bulls got another big win. Noah had 13 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for the first triple-double by a Bulls centre in roughly 35 years, and Chicago pounded the Milwaukee Bucks 110-91 on Wednesday night. "Obviously its a very humbling accomplishment," Noah said. "But were playing for more than that." Carlos Boozer scored 20 points to lead six Bulls players in double figures. Derrick Rose and Luol Deng each added 16, and Chicago simply ran away with this one. The Central Division leaders built an 11-point halftime lead and broke it open in the third quarter, a nice send-off for the All-Star break. Ronnie Brewer scored 15 points as all five Bulls starters finished in double digits. Reserves Kyle Korver (11 points) and Taj Gibson (nine points, 10 rebounds) provided a spark as Chicago handed Milwaukee its sixth loss in seven games. Brandon Jennings scored 20 to lead the Bucks, who never really had a chance in this one with Chicago shooting 54.4 per cent from the field and dominating on the glass with a 49-29 rebounding edge. "Im not going to lie," Jennings said. "Im frustrated. I want to win. We all want to win." This, however, was far from a winning effort for them. Boozer hit 9 of his 12 shots. Rose looked sharp again after saying the lower back pain that caused him to miss five recent games is gone. He followed up a 23-point effort against Atlanta on Monday with another strong showing. And then there was Noah. "Hes just like a guard, where hes making great plays passing it to the corners," Rose said. How good was he? Consider this: Not since Artis Gilmore had 35 points, 15 rebounds and 11 blocks against Atlanta on Dec. 20, 1977, had a Bulls centre delivered a triple-double. For that, Noah credited Rose with one huge assist. "The only reason I was able to do it was because they were trying to get the ball out of Derricks hands," Noah said. With the Bucks trapping Rose, Noah has plenty of opportunities and posted a career high in assists. As he approached the triple-double in the third quarter, teammates kept reminding him. "For a big man, hes great at making decisions coming down the floor," Deng said. "A lot of big men will get a little hesitant having the ball in their hand, but hes comfortable with it." Skiles said the Bucks were "kind of in-between." "We werent really bodying him up," he said. "We werent jumping with him either. And hes got the ability to handle the ball, pass the ball. He always has. He hurt us tonight." Noah fired up the crowd twice in the final minute of the third quarter. First, he dunked on Beno Udrih for a three-point play. Then, after two free throws by Jennings, he buried a corner jumper with about a second left to make it 93-75, sending a roar through the arena. "Its unbelievable how things change from the New Jersey game to this game," Noah said. He had just six rebounds without a point or assist in a loss to the Nets on Saturday. He played better against Atlanta, grabbing 16 rebounds, and trumped that with what probably was the best all-around performance of his career. "How many big men can get a triple-double?" Milwaukees Ersan Ilyasova said. Notes: The Bulls have won seven straight against Milwaukee. ... Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said veteran G Richard Hamilton "is doing a lot more" and is "taking on contact now," but his return date remains up in the air. Hamilton has been limited to 11 games this season because of thigh and groin problems. ... Backup PG C.J. Watson missed his second straight game because of a mild concussion. ... Milwaukees Stephen Jackson did not travel with the team because of a sore right hamstring, and Drew Gooden missed his fourth straight game because of a sprained right wrist. Nike Roshe Run Saldi .

He trained, prepared himself for his first home start of the season and got rid of some overdue baggage, finally shaving off his overgrown beard.Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman have begged them to stand down. And Sunday night, would-be Phoenix Coyotes owner Matthew Hulsizer did the same on television during intermission of a game in Glendale, with Senator John McCain, one of the most powerful men in Arizona, adding his voice to the cry as well. They all have implored the Goldwater Institute to back away, drop its threat of a lawsuit, and let the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes go through, allowing the team to remain in Glendale. None of that apparently matters. Monday night, the Goldwater Institute released a statement maintaining its opposition to the deal that calls on the City of Glendale to contribute $100 million worth or proceeds from a municipal bond sale to help Hulsizer buy the team from the NHL for $170 million. On Friday, Hulsizer sent a letter to Goldwater promising to guarantee $75 million worth of the funds to the city as a measure of protecting citizens from financial risk. But that failed to move the taxpayer advocacy group of its long-held opposition to the deal. "The offer recognizes the significant risk to taxpayers under the current deal and to that extent is a positive development," Goldwater Institute president Darcy Olsen said in a statement. "Regrettably, however, the proposal fails to remedy the core legal violation at issue, leaving the expensive taxpayer gamble intact." Goldwater claims that Hulsizers $75 million guarantee, which he unveiled on television Sunday, meant that revenues to the city from all sources - such as arena events, rental payments, parking revenues - would total at least $75 million over 30 years, a promise he made in the letter he sent to the institute on Friday. "Arizona Hockey is willing to modify the lease agreement with Glendale to guaranty [sic] to the city that they [sic] will receive direct revenues from the Coyotes, Arena and parking that have a value to day [sic] of at least $75 million," Hulsizer wrote to the Goldwater Insitute. "If the cumulative direct revenues received from the Coyotes, Arena and parking are that amount, than [sic] the shortfall will be the liability of Arizona Hockey Holdings." Both the NHL and the city have stated recently that time is running short for a solution in Glendale. But Monday night, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Goldwaters unwavering position will not dissuade the league from continuing its efforts to close the deal with Hulsizer. "It doesnt change our equation," said Daly. "We have never anticipated that Goldwater would change its position. Our objective has been to try to find a solution with or without Goldwaters enndorsement.ddddddddddddquot; The question is whether Hulsizer, who seemed frustrated during his television interview Sunday night, has the appetite to push forward with the deal at this point. Glendales municipal bonds were originally to be sold by the end of February. However, the Goldwater Institute sent letters to potential buyers, warning them that a potential lawsuit may follow. Last week, Goldwater clarified its position by promising to sue if the deal closed. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, the City of Glendale and Hulsizer have all blamed the Goldwater Institutes threat of a lawsuit for the failure of the bonds to sell. Goldwaters opposition is based on its belief that the parking revenues being used to fund repayment of the bonds already belongs to the city and therefore should be used to aid the hockey club. It is also opposed to a $97 million payment the city has pledged to Hulsizer for managing Jobing.com Arena over five-and-a-half years. Goldwaters statement claims that even with Hulsizers $75 million guarantee, taxpayers will be on the hook for $362 million over the next 30 years. "The Goldwater Institute has recommended that Mr. Hulsizer use his resources to buy the team and hold taxpayers harmless," said the statement released by Goldwater on Monday. "In a less than perfect compromise, Mr. Hulsizer could also protect taxpayers by personally guaranteeing the full repayment amount of the bonds." Goldwater also expressed concern about the Coyotes viability in Phoenix, suggesting that taxpayers will be on the hook if the team winds up in bankruptcy again. The Coyotes have been a financial disaster in Glendale, expected to lose roughly $40 million this season alone. "Glendale taxpayers have been given no protection against a future team bankruptcy," said the Goldwater statement. "If the team goes bankrupt again, taxpayers will assume the full cost of bond repayment—this is on top of what taxpayers are already paying for the construction of Jobing.com Arena. Any restructured deal should legally protect taxpayers from liability for the bond repayment if the team fails again. " The response from Goldwater is sure to be warmly greeted in Winnipeg where fans have been following the trials of the Coyotes on a daily basis, anticipating that the team will move North if the bond sale doesnt close. While there has been no end to the twists and turns in a saga that began when the Coyotes were put into bankruptcy back in May of 2009, this latest turn has added another level of urgency to the situation. "We hope Glendale will put a deal on the table that doesnt expose taxpayers to unnecessary risk," said Olsen. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinastore.us.com/]cheap jerseys cheap nhl jerseys ' ' '
