Chicago (AFP) - Pau Gasol scored a season-best 31 points as Chicago overcame the disappointment of Joakim Noah's season-ending injury with a 111-101 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
The Spanish star also contributed 12 rebounds while Derrick Rose added 20 points with Jimmy Butler contributing 16 and nine assists.
The game was Chicago's first since Noah suffered a dislocated left shoulder on Friday, an injury expected to leave him sidelined for four to six months, ruling him out of the rest of the regular season and possibly the playoffs.
