The Chicago Bulls defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-85 to cap off a successful summer league.

James Johnson looked good once again. Johnson finished with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Johnson found most of his success scoring wise taking his man off the dribble, scoring with short shots, and also drawing fouls and hitting his free throws. His jumpshots were off once again.

His passing was crisp as well, often finding his teammates who were cutting to the basket, just at the right time.

Johnson had a great show of strength with 3:56 left in the second quarter. The Wolves had a 2 on 1 fastbreak, and Johnson was defending the break. Devin Green ended up being the guy getting to go for the layup, and Johnson went for the block, and he just knocked Green to the ground hard, even though he didn’t swing too hard into Green.

Demarcus Nelson looked good today as well, scoring 18 points on 7-10 shooting. He got a lot of points driving to the hoop, throwing in short runners and layups. I can’t see this translating into the regular season agains’t more legitimate shotblockers than what he is going up against in summer league.

Anthony Roberson had a solid game, scoring 15 points on 5-12 shooting.

Corey Brewer led the Timberwolves in scoring with 20 points.

Johnny Flynn came off the bench for the Timberwolves, and finished with 7 points, 7 assists, and 4 turnovers. Flynn’s athleticism is impressive, and the potential is definitely there for him to be a good point guard in the NBA. Flynn finished the game off with a windmill dunk that got the crowd excited. Flynn really struggled today, and Nelson’s strong defense was a big factor in this.

Taureen Green had 10 points an 8 assists off the bench for the Bulls, and Tyrell Biggs chipped in 12 points.

For the Timberwolves, Gary Siler finished with 12 points, and Wayne Ellington finished with 10 points.

With the win, the Bulls finish the 2009 Las Vegas Summer League with a 3-2 record.
