Charlotte Bobcats vs. Chicago Bulls 1/28/13: Video Highlights and Recap

Jimmy Butler—who returned to the pine with the return of Luol Deng from injury—and Nate Robinson combined for 34 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals and four blocks, while Taj Gibson added seven rebounds and three swats to improve Chicago to 27-17.
The Bobcats got 18 points, four boards and six assists from Kemba Walker in an encouraging road effort, but came up just short as they dropped to 11-33 on the season.

Yeah, that's why he's an All-Star.
