TYRUS Thomas returned from injury to score 21 points, Joakim Noah added 17 points and 18 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls capped an eventful week with a 96-85 victory over the visiting New Orleans Hornets in the NBA yesterday.
Thomas, back after missing 22 games with a broken left forearm, was active from the moment he entered to a nice ovation 3:09 into the game. He finished 10 for 17 from the floor and also had nine rebounds.
The Bulls tomorrow blew a 35-point, second-half lead in losing to Sacramento, and the next night they fell to New York despite erasing most of a 22-point deficit.
Rockets 98, Nets 93
At East Rutherford, New Jersey, reserve Carl Landry scored 26 points to lead Houston and send New Jersey to its ninth straight loss.
Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks each had 17 points, while Trevor Ariza added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets to beat New Jersey for the seventh straight time.
Devin Harris led the Nets with 19 points, while Yi Jianlian and Brook Lopez each had 17.
Hawks 110, Pacers 98
At Indianapolis, Al Horford had 25 points and a season-high 19 rebounds, leading Atlanta past Indiana.
Joe Johnson scored 24 points, and Josh Smith had 22 points and five blocks for the Hawks.
Troy Murphy, Tyler Hansbrough and Luther Head all finished with 19 points for Indiana, which has lost five in a row.
Mavericks 106, Grizzlies 101
At Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points over the first three quarters, then saw his teammates take control in the fourth to carry Dallas over Memphis.
Nowitzki asked for more help from his teammates after the last game and certainly got it. Six other Mavericks scored in double-figures, with Jason Terry scoring 14 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter. He sealed the victory with four free throws in the final 20.6 seconds. Nowitzki was 0 for 2 in the final period.
Zach Randolph had 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Grizzlies.
Timberwolves 101, Wizards 89
At Minneapolis, Corey Brewer scored 23 of his career-high 27 points in the second half to lead Minnesota past Washington.
Kevin Love added 17 points and 10 rebounds against a Wizards team that has seven coaches and players who have significant ties to the Timberwolves organization.
Gilbert Arenas had 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. But he made just 10 of his 28 shots for the Wizards, who were looking for their first three-game winning streak since April 2008.
Thunder 98, Bobcats 91
At Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Russell Westbrook had 22 and Oklahoma City held off Charlotte.
Nenad Krstic added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the surprising Thunder, who improved to 15-14. They didn't earn their 15th win last season until the 60th game, on March 2.
Stephen Jackson had 24 points for the Bobcats, who dropped to 1-13 on the road.
