The Chicago Bulls embark on their annual trek across America, aka the "Circus Road Trip," Thursday night when they visit the Pepsi Center to meet the Denver Nuggets. Tune in to catch the action on TSN at 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt. The circus comes to the United Center in Chicago and forces the Bulls to hit the road. It will be six games away from home for a Bulls team that has won five straight, but is also just 1-3 as a visitor this season. "The way weve always approached it -- and were not going to change -- is that were not looking at it as a long road trip," head coach Tom Thibodeau told the teams website. "Were just looking at it as getting ready for Denver. Thats why you want to establish a routine of preparation and you approach it the same way every game. If you look at it that way, prepare yourself and do the right things, the results will take care of themselves." As if a six-game road trip wasnt daunting enough, the Bulls announced on Wednesday that starting two guard Jimmy Butler didnt travel with the team. He has what is commonly referred to as turf toe and is listed as week-to-week. The Bulls collected their fifth straight win on Monday with an 86-81 home victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. Luol Deng led Chicago with 21 points and eight rebounds. Butler had 14 points, followed by 12 apiece from Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer, who pulled down 17 rebounds in the win. Joakim Noah managed 11 points. Mondays victory came after the Bulls knocked the Indiana Pacers from the ranks of the unbeaten. They visit Portland, Los Angeles to take on the Clippers, Utah, Detroit and Cleveland before returning home on Dec. 2. The Nuggets have dropped two straight, although they were reasonable setbacks. Denver lost Saturday night in Houston, then fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 115-113 Monday night. The Nuggets held a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter against OKC, but succumbed to Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka. Ty Lawson, who is off to an amazing start this season, netted a team-high 29 points. J.J. Hickson had 18 points and 19 rebounds, while Randy Foye, Evan Fournier and Nate Robinson scored in double figures. Thursdays contest will feature the seventh-best scoring team (Nuggets) against the second-best defense (Bulls). "Our offensive execution has to be on point," Denver coach Brian Shaw said. "Typically, their games are lower-scoring games and theyre kind of an ugly, grind-it-out style. You have to be able to score, which means you have to take care of the ball and get a shot on every possession." The Nuggets have won four straight over the Bulls and six in a row and 12 of 13 at home in this series. Cheap Jerseys Authentic . Notes on P.K.

The Arrows defeated the Coquitlam Adanacs 14-8 on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, taking the best-of-seven series 4-2. Coquitlam threw everything they had at Six Nations in Game 6, but the Arrows held off the charge as they captured their third ever Minto Cup in franchise history. "We knew they werent going to lay down," said Arrows coach Marshall Abrams. "We wanted to at least tie the first two periods and then go hard in the third, and we did that," he said. "Hats off to Coquitlam for a heck of a series." After losing the first two, the Arrows won four straight games to claim the title, their first since 2007. "After those two losses, we just had to get our mind focused and get the jitters out," said Quinn Powless, who had a goal and five assists in Game 6. "We knew we were the better team and we proved it." Johnny Powless was named Tournament MVP, as the Arrows captain scored 29 points (8g, 21a) in six games. "Weve been working so hard for this trophy," said J. Powless. "I grew up with all these guys, theyre all family. This means the world to us". Along with Powless, the Arrows were backed by some outstanding goaltending. Doug Jamieson stopped 225 of the Adanacs 266 shots in thee series, including some crucial saves at key moments.dddddddddddd "Doug was the MVP out east versus Whitby," said Abrams. "After being down 2-0 in the series, we were all behind him and confident he would step up, which he did." Coquitlam looked to be in control after the first two games of the series, but it wasnt meant to be for the Adanacs. "We knew it was a matter of time before we saw their best games," said head coach Neil Doddridge. "They seemed to get better in games three and four. They were really transitioning to the ball well and that got us in trouble." "It was a hard fought series," said Adanacs captain Wesley Berg. "Sometimes the score didnt really show it. We put it all on the line and we played for each other but it sucks not to win it." "It was a great series with two great teams playing the game the right way," said Doddridge. We emptied the tank the last six days, you cant ask for much more from the guys." "The focus was there all series long," said Abrams. "After the first two games, the boys realized what it took to win the Minto Cup. They realized the dedication and determination needed," he said. "Its been seven years since our last cup, so were going to have some fun tonight." ' ' '
