Bulls in London with Lawyers Guns and Money

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Bulls in London. Kind of sounds like some Warren Zevon, only he sang about the werewolves in London.
This time it was the Chicago Bulls playing out one of David Stern’s fantasies, a game of NBA basketball in London. The game was played proper and even though the Jazz had a go at it, they could not quite get it done. There was no stampede by the Chicago Bulls, just a game winning shot by rookie James Johnson on a fade away from the baseline.
And then Warren Zevon sang about the game.
James Johnson was an Excitable Boy to be sure even though it was a meaningless exhibition game. He had 18 points in the game. Luol Deng, recovering from a stress fracture in his leg also had 18 points in the game. Deng has a connection to London.
NBA: Stern wants regular-season game in London
Luol Deng (FSY), who was raised in London after his family fled war-torn Sudan, impressed early and finished with 18 points at sold-out O2 Arena. He left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return.
The game was not meaningless to David Stern, who sent Lawyers, Guns, and Money in order to attempt to secure a regular season game in London. Nobody is sure if that was accomplished, but the Lawyers sure scared everyone.
As always, any NBA Basketball related comments are welcome.
