CHICAGO - Joakim Noah had 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocks Thursday night for his third career triple-double, and Chicago beat Philadelphia 93-82.

Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 12 rebounds.

Noah tied the Bulls record for blocks in a regulation game, previously set by Artis Gilmore in 1977.

"He was spectacular," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.

"His will from the start of the game until the end was just incredible," Thibodeau said. "He was everywhere - blocked shots, switching, guarding everyone. Big-time multiple efforts."

Boozer added: "He was amazing. (But) we needed everybody to step up, and we did. It was impressive."

• Lakers 116, Timberwolves 94: In Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant scored 33 points, and Antawn Jamison added 17 in the Lakers' 21st consecutive victory over Minnesota.

• Clippers 99, Pacers 91: In Indianapolis, Chris Paul scored 29 points, and Blake Griffin finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds to help Los Angeles hold off Indiana's late charge.
