Joakim Noah had a lot going on off the court during the Chicago Bulls’ 106-91 Game 2 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, distractions which he either completely denied or significantly downplayed when speaking to reporters after practice on Thursday.
Between a so-called beef with Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Cardale Jones and two purported run-ins with Cavaliers fans, Noah certainly had his hands full.
Noah did his best to not allow these incidents to become distractions for the Bulls as the team prepares for Friday’s Game 3 showdown with the Cavs at the United Center.
