Bulls vs. Heat video highlights: Jimmy Butler answers the LeBron challenge
Jimmy Butler may have had a rough first half on Sunday and finished merely 4-15 from the field, but he had 12 points (on 6 shots) output in the second half. Oh, and he played over 47 minutes against the reigning MVP and made him look ordinary. LeBron didn't get to the free-throw line once the entire game, the first time that had happened in nearly 5 years and (per our stats guru Mike in Illinois) was the longest LeBron has ever played in a game without drawing a foul. LeBron has been slumping a bit since his 61-point game last week (going against Butler-esque Kawhi Leonard in the game prior...

Butler the epitome of what Bulls are about
CHICAGO -- Jimmy Butler embodies all the characteristics Tom Thibodeau wants his players to have. He's tough, he plays hard, he plays to win, he never gives up -- but most important -- he's not scared. Butler isn't afraid to mix it up and get down and dirty on the floor. Never was that more evident than at times during the Chicago Bulls' impressive 95-88 overtime win on Sunday afternoon. It was Butler who found himself in a scrum with LeBron James under the basket in the first half and didn't back down -- kicking him in the face and taking a shot to the mouth -- as both players picked up...

Bulls vs. Warriors final score: Bulls completely dominant in obliteration of Golden State
Well I sure wasn't expecting that performance, and from the looks of it the Warriors were even more surprised. They were completely embarrassed in the United Center tonight. Especially with the Bulls having played the night before this looked on the schedule to be penciled in as a loss, but instead it was a 20 point victory. Jimmy Butler's return from a 2-game absence certainly helped the cause, as he and Kirk Hinrich totally shut down the Warriors explosive backcourt. Stephen Curry was abysmal, going 2-10 to finish with 5 points. Klay Thompson was barely better with 8 points, and no...

Butler makes his return a good one
CHICAGO -- With a large ice pack around his midsection, Jimmy Butler looked tired and sore as he sat in front of his locker stall late Wednesday night. It had been five days since he took a hard shot to his ribs, and the pain wasn't going away easily. He had admitted in recent days he still had a hard time breathing correctly because his side was so sore. But he put the pain aside and managed to score 16 points in almost 37 minutes as the Chicago Bulls earned one of their most impressive wins of the year over the Golden State Warriors.

Tom Thibodeau misjudges Jimmy Butler effect
ATLANTA — Coach Tom Thibodeau likes to judge his players on how the team functions rather than on individual performance. So when it was pointed out that the Bulls were 5-10 without Jimmy Butler, there seemed to be a contradiction. “Well, I think you’ve got to look at it deeper than that,’’ Thibodeau said Tuesday. “The beginning of the season when [Butler] was out, you’re looking at Luol [Deng] being out and Derrick [Rose] being out along with him. We...
