RECORDS: Warriors 5-6, Bulls 5-7

Warriors UPDATE: Guard Kelenna Azubuike has a sprained left knee and did not practice Thursday, his second straight day out of action. Azubuike suffered the injury during Tuesday night's 111-106 win over Portland. A team spokesman said he is day to day. Golden State coach Don Nelson wouldn't say Thursday who might start in Azubuike's place if he is unavailable. Warriors assistant Larry Harris will be on the opposite bench of his dad, Bulls assistant and former Houston, Milwaukee and L.A. Lakers head coach Del Harris. Golden State split its two meetings with Chicago last season.

Bulls UPDATE: Chicago is alone in fourth place in the Central Division after its 116-74 loss to Portland on Wednesday night. Rookie guard Derrick Rose is averaging 18.8 points and a team-high 5.5 assists per game but was just 1-of-8 from the floor with only one assist against the Trail Blazers. With Rose and Ben Gordon entrenched as starters, former Warriors guard Larry Hughes has been complaining about his playing time, or lack thereof. "I don't want to play like this," Hughes told the Chicago Tribune. "I'm not comfortable with 15-20 minutes. Something has to change." Hughes has averaged just under 19 minutes and eight points per game so far.
