Road warriors working out bugs

[645]

SALT LAKE CITY -- Four games remain on this trip, so anybody enduring a slump or drought—maybe the Cubs?—should join the Bulls.

Good karma abounds. Seemingly each game on this seven-city journey, some player is breaking out of a funk.

Friday night in Seattle, Chris Duhon shot a brutal January into the past. Against Portland on Saturday, Ben Gordon reintroduced himself to productivity.

Granted, Gordon's struggles were far briefer—back-to-back clunkers against the Clippers and SuperSonics in which he shot 10 of 32 with 10 turnovers. But his 33 points Saturday came on 50 percent shooting and his nine free-throw attempts were indicative of an aggressive mind-set as he attacked the rim.
