The Chicago Bulls narrowly beat the Boston Celtics Friday night before a crowd of 18,624 at TD Garden in Boston.Chicago had a six point lead at the end of the third period,but Boston sharpened their game and took a one point lead with 4:25 left in the fourth.
The Bulls' Kirk Hinrich tied the game with a jump shot at 0.2 seconds left,sending the game into overtime.Marco Belinelli was the hero of the night with his two-pointer at 2 seconds left in OT as the Bulls won by a hair 100-99.The win brings the Bulls up to 23-15,and the Celtics dropped to 20-19 on the season.
Leaders of the game were Carlos Boozer for the Bulls with 19 points,20 rebounds and 4 assists;and Rajon Rondo for the Celtics with his season-high 30 points,plus 2 rebounds and 7 assists.Joakim Noah added 14 points,13 rebounds and 4 assists for the Bulls,as well as 2 steals;and Kevin Garnett notched 16 points,7 rebounds and 1 assist for the Celtics.

Celtics Sharp,Jobs Meager
The Boston Celtics outshot the Chicago Bulls Friday night,ensuring their reputation as the sharpest team in basketball.The Celtics made 53% of their field goals,while Chicago made 41%.They were so good,the starters were given an extended rest on the bench during the second half.
The Boston fans were so relaxed by the dominant performance,they filled TD Garden with chants for their beloved Brian Scalabrine,who was sitting on the Bulls' bench,but had done yeoman's service for the Celtics the previous five years.Finally,Scalabrine got his chance in the last minute of the game,committing a foul and making one pass before the buzzer sounded.
Celtics starter Kevin Garnett embraced his old teammate Scalabrine after the game.
Rajan Rondo had 19 assists and 12 points for Boston.He said he doesn't know exactly how many assists he's getting,but he knows they're racking up.
Colorado is racking up impressive snowfall totals,with Crested Butte notching 93" so far this ski season.The U.S. economy,however,is not racking up enough new jobs,scoring a mere 39,000 for the 15 million job seekers in November.Wall Street shrugged this off,comforted by the Federal Reserve's certain support for the stock market.
The market was up for the week,with the S&P gaining 3.0.The S&P futures tacked on a further 0.80 Friday evening,and bond futures declined.

Thunder Prevail,Market Even
The Oklahoma City Thunder handled the Boston Celtics 89-84 Friday night before a very loud crowd at TD Garden in Boston.The Thunder couldn't make a basket as the game wound down,missing their last 14 shots,but their foul shooting was sharp.Russell Westbrook,who led the Thunder with 31 points,said that OKC also defended like they did all last year,and so they closed down the game.Kevin Garnett scored 16 points for Boston.
Brisk conditions brace the Northern Plains like the OKC defense this weekend.Bismarck will be 21F Saturday,and Billings will have a high of 19,with snow in both locations,as well as in the Sierra Nevada range.Seattle could see snow Saturday night,and snow showers may brush the Northeast.
After falling off a cliff,the market managed to recover its equilibrium this week,closing on a flat note for the week,with the S&P up 0.04.Worries about European debt had resurfaced,and China took measures to cool off its economy,constraining any progress traders had hoped to achieve.
Positive manufacturing numbers from the Mid-Atlantic region helped the market end on an even keel.Hewlett Packard's earnings report after the closing bell on Monday is an early milestone for next week's action.The S&P futures were up 0.50 this evening,and bond futures were in the green as well.
