Less than 24 hour after being involved in a Sam Smith rumor Bulls forward Marcus Fizer got his own back.  And who benefits most?  The Chicago Bulls.

Fizer was phenominal in the Bulls victory over the Boston Celtics, recording 20 points and 17 rebounds in just 28 minutes.  It was a night for the inside guys in Chicago, with Donyell Marshall (20 &13) and Tyson Chandler (14 & 10, most in first quarter) also recording double doubles in points and rebounds.

Suprisingly the Bulls, who again went 0-7 on their Western Conference road trip last month and looked like the season could be a wash, sit only 2 1/2 games out of the eighth playoff spot thanks to a strong home record.

"We want to show people we're serious about this," said Fizer. "We're looking forward to turning it around."

"The eighth spot isn't saying a lot, but it's saying a lot for a team that hasn't been in the playoffs the last couple seasons. We're looking forward to making a run."
