He scored 15 points in the 4th quarter to propel the Bulls over the Raptors. He had 17 in all and I can only imagine how much he'd score with a lot of minutes. So far he has come up big when the Bulls needed him most and he nailed a key three pointer to put the game out of reach.
Another good win for Chicago tonight. Beat a good home team (Raps were 17-10 at Air Canada) to get themselves a nice road win. Nice 4th quarter by Ben Gordon and good games by Hinrich and Curry. Hopefully the Bulls can get back rolling (streak at 3 right now I beileve) and keep it going after the break.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kings10:</div><div class="quote_post">I just hope hinrichs injury isnt that bad</div> Like the announcers pointed out, this is as good of a time as any to get injured for a few days with the All-Star break upcoming. I doubt it's serious but you can never know.
Good win Bulls! The way curry started the first 4 minutes he was on route to score 88 points. LOL! They bulls is a perfectly balanced team every body on this team puts up Solid numbers tonight we had six guys in double figures. The Cavs will catch Hell from the wolves on Thursday and I think theyll lose, putting the bulls in a better position in the playoffs. In my opinion the Bulls are gonna give any team in the east(except miami) the tuffest 7 games possible with their phenominal HalfCourt Game! GO BULLS!

GO BULLS!</div> Speaking of which, is the playoff format back to 5-7-7-7 or are they going with the same one as last year with less days off in between games? I only ask because I thought I remember them saying they were going to revert back so the playoffs don't drag on for so long.

I don't recall them ever saying that they're going to switch the first round back to a 5 game series format.
Ben Gordon just owned the Raptors in the 4th quarter. I can't say anything else but that. It looked like we could come back but Ben hit some very tough shots to keep the game out of reach. Damn this guy is good. Like Donyell said after the game, these baby bulls are actually taking ball more seriously this year and their record shows.
Air Gordon is becoming the Eric Gagne of basketball. He just closes out games and dominates the final period every night for the Bulls. I originally picked him to win ROY when the Bulls drafted him. Let's see if he can deliver on that.
Ben was my pick for rookie of the year even before the draft. His final year at uconn convinced me. Okafor as great as he was at uconn it was Ben that carried that team through the tourney.
Good contribution all around from the Bulls, considerably Kirk and Ben in this game. When Kirk was taken out in the fourth Ben stepped up and played like a machine to help the Bulls pick up another win. If Ben keeps this up and continues to deliver so often we may have a new "Mail Man" in the league, lol. No comparisons here of course, just a laugh. But seriously though, Ben has delivered on many occasions and I believe that our Bulls will continue their success and race into the playoffs. They may even have a decent run we'll just have to wait and see. I loved the shooting by Kirk last night aswell, knocking down six threes.
