Bulls climbing out of cellar.

Toronto defeats the NJ Nets 110 to 99.  NJ (7-16) drops below Da Bulls (7-15) and Toronto moves two games ahead of Chicago with a (9-17) record.  Since NJ has the better conference record, the Bulls need to beat Portland on Monday to stay ahead of NJ and pace Toronto. 
 
Chicago has climbed from 15th to 11th in the Eastern Conference. There are a cluster of teams at the bottom and a few consecutive wins have great impact in the conference standings.
 
This year a 500 record will get a team into the playoffs.  Boston now holds the 8th position with a 11-12 record. 
 
A good goal for Chicago is to move into 9th by the end of January, passing Toronto and Philadelphia.
