May 14, 2013. Bulls beat Brooklyn 99-93. It wasn't for a title since there wouldn't be any in the decade or a chance to get to the Finals with Derrick Rose out for the season. But it was the game that defined what a team was about perhaps as much as any the Bulls ever played. Uncertain even about playing with plantar fasciitis, Joakim Noah led the Bulls to a Game 7 series road win over the Nets with 24 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks. Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng were out. Jimmy Butler played 48 minutes and the Bulls needed Daequan Cook and Marquis Teague.
