I was hoping to see Lebron James score 50 points for his second consecutive game. Instead, I saw Joakim Noah hit the boards for 20 rebounds.

James was “on pace” for 50 points after scoring 26 in the first half. However, he slowed down in the second half, only scoring 13, for a total of 39 – still not a bad night. Noah was just the 6th player I have seen grab 20 or more rebounds in one game. Check out the other players here.

Before the game, I bought a $46 ticket for $20. Since I saw a guy pay $60-80 for 2 tickets right before I talked to the same scalper, I offered $10 more than I wanted to. He did not accept initially but did after I walked away. After, another guy asked me how much did I pay. I told him $20 and he said “You should shop around man. I have one for $10.” Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Pre Game Comments
I am heading to the United Center tonight as the Bulls host the Cavaliers in an early start time (6 pm) for TNT. Lebron James is attempting to score 50 points for his second consecutive game and Ben Wallace is returning to Chicago for the first time since his trade to Cleveland. I should be able to buy a ticket for around $10 based on reviewing current prices on www.stubhub.com, www.ticketsnow.com and chicago.craigslist.org.
