Belinelli Hits Another Game-Winner for Bulls

As the United Center rocked and the Bulls celebrated Marco Belinelli’s go-ahead, three-point play with 7.5 seconds left, Joakim Noah remained down in the photographer’s pit along the baseline, cameras and cheerleaders all around him.
His teammates saw it, which is why they were celebrating the shot that sealed the Bulls’ stirring 85-82 comeback over the Pistons, their 17th straight victory in this series. It marked the second time in just more than a month the Bulls erased a 17-point deficit against the Pistons to prevail.
But make sure to find a replay of Noah’s hustle, which came off Belinelli’s bricked jumper. As Noah tumbled into cameras and cheerleaders, Belinelli cut to the basket, grabbed the fruit of Noah’s effort and laid it in as Rodney Stuckey fouled him.
“I scored, but the credit goes to Jo,” said Belinelli, who scored his second game-winner in four games.
“Quite frankly, I don’t know he got to it,” Thibodeau said. “It was an incredible play.”
