On Saturday night at the United Center The Bulls responded with 31—count ‘em-31 assists as the Bulls improved to 9-11. 6-3 at home with a victory over Washington.

Here’s my game recap:

Elsewhere in the NBA:

The Mavs remain hot, winners of 9 out of their last 10 with a victory over Atlanta.

One has to believe Randy Wittman’s job is on the line after Minnesota lost at home to the Clippers who had played the night before and fell to Memphis. Connect the dots, folks.

The Hornets nailed 11-3s in their win over the Grizz. Marc Gasol is the real deal. 21 points-7 rebounds for Memphis. How about this stat courtesy of ESPN… Chris Paul has more than 20 points and 10 assists in 27 of his last 39 games.

The 76ers have lost four straight home games as NJ hung a 95-84 win on them . Devin Harris with 27. The Nets are 7-3 on the road. Vince Carter with a 14 point 11 rebound 8 assists game.

OKC now 2-19. D-Wade went off for 38 points 7 assists 5 rebounds-2 steals-2 blocks. The Heat are two games over.500.

The Cavs won their 8th straight… 17-3 overall as they blasted the Bobcats in Charlotte by 20.

How good is Chauncey Billups… Denver easily wins that deal with Detroit. Denver beats Sac.

The Suns beat the Jazz. as Amare scored 22 and pulled down 20 boards.

Another game-another loss for the Warriors. Defense? Are you kidding me? 123 to the Spurs. The Warriors are 2-10 on the road.

I like Florida to beat Oklahoma in the BCS title game.

Enjoy the Bears vs. Jags on Sunday.

Always a pleasure. E mail me at cswirsky@bulls.com
