Joakim Noah's amazing triple double vs the 76ers



What a night by Joakim Noah, as the Bulls got a much needed win against the Philadelphia 76ers last night 93-82 at the United Center.  Noah had an amazing night as he posted 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career high 11 blocks for his third career triple double.   His first career triple double was on February 22nd 2012 against the Bucks as he posted 13 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, becoming the first Bulls center to post a triple double in since Artis Gilmore in 1977.  Noah’s 2nd career triple double on December 18th against the Boston Celtics.  His stat line was 11 points, 13 rebounds and a career tying high 10 assists. 
Let go to back to last night’s game, against the 76ers who are still without there best center Andrew Bynum who is still recovering from a knee injury.  If Bynum did play last night against Noah, I don’t think Noah would have posted this triple double.  What was amazing about Noah’s triple double who shot 8-12 from the field at 67%.  According to the Elias Sports Bureau Noah became the first player in NBA history to record at least 20 points (23 points last night), 20 rebounds (21 rebounds last night), 10 blocks (11 blocks last night) and shoot at least 65% from the field (he shot 67% last night).
