Didn't see the game, but..... I'm guessing the minutes distribution was closer to what we can expect in the regular season than any other game so far. You have to figure you can get this kind of game from Kirk 2-3 times per year. Sucks one of them had to come in the preseason. Is it telling that Thibs gave all of Jimmy's extra minutes to Kirk? I'm guessing that signals where his allegiances are at the moment.
Hinrich scores 26 points, Bulls beat Hornets The Chicago Bulls' closer is almost back at full speed. Derrick Rose had 17 points in almost 28 minutes and saw his first action in the fourth quarter as he comes back from a right knee injury 10 games into last season. Rose checked in with 7:22 remaining in the game and helped the Bulls hold off Charlotte 101-96 on Sunday night for their fourth consecutive preseason victory. He was 2 of 4 from the floor in the fourth and scored nine points, making five of his six free throws. Read more http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400583999
