Hinrich, Gordon, Thabo, THomas, Smith. Thabo misses a 3. Thabo saves the reobund to Hinrich, to Gordon, nice drive and dish to THomas for the dunk AND 1. Makes the FT 80-78 Bulls Miller posts up against Smith. Can't find anyone to pass the ball to, has to force up a shot but is fouled by Smith. Bailed him out.
Miller gets it in the high post, Hinrich fouls him. Thomas just got 2 quick blocks. Kings get the boards, though, and Thomas an d Thabo fight for the rebound off the miss and it's OB to the Kings. Garcia misses the floater, Miller clearly spooked by Thomas missed the putback, Smith comes down with it but is tied up for a jump ball.
Tip back to Thabo, Hinrich in the half court. Dribble, dribble, uses the pick, to Thabo in the corner, to Thomas, to Hinrich for 3!
Bulls up 5 Salmons isolated on Gordon, easily shoots over him for 2. 85-82, 6:12 left. Hinrich on the run throws it away.
Mike Bibby and Ron Artest are having awesome games tonight. No wait, it is scrubs who are playing us this close on our home court!
Yep, it's sad. Considering the losses we had this season. It isn't just like a stroke of luck by the Kings kind of game, this is the way we've been playing this season.
Salmons ties it up. Hinrich double teamed, somehow finds Smith going to the hoop, he's hacked by Miller from behind. To the line for two. 85-85, 5:43 left Missed the first Made the 2nd Bulls by the slimmest of margins (heh heh)
Salmons again goes around Thomas but Thomas comes up with a terrific block, :24 violation. Hinrich loses it going for the layup, and Salmons hits a layup at the other end. Gordon double teamed, to Smith, to THomas for the unwise 19 footer, kings ball. Garcia misses, Wallace boards. Gordon drives, fouled by Dahntay Jones. 87-86 Kings, 4:31 left Gordon to the line for two
