I didn't see most of the game, but the Bulls had their chances in the 4th but just could not hit an outside shot. Gordon didn't have it and neither did Duhon, who aired what would have been a huge three ball on a wide open shot. 99-93 Sonics.
I picked up my tickets at will call today. I'm happy. I did want to let the local folks know that there may be some limited view doubles available for the May 20th White Sox game and for the September Cardinals series. The person in front of me asked about those games and that's what the ticket rep said. If you're interested, you may want to call over the phone or head on down to the box office tomorrow.
Gordon misses the three and the Clippers grab the rebound. Brunson goes to the line and seals it, as he makes the first free throw. The last west coast road trip the Bulls swept was in January of 1991. That's not going to change. 83-78 the final...
At least they tried. MLB Gameday would have packed it up an hour ago. This is getting to be a REALLY physical game. The refs are making the calls, but bodies are flying all over the place.
The scorers really have this messed up. The Bulls are either up by 9 or 6. And the refs just took 3 points away from the Bulls. 6 point lead to start the fourth.
Bulls up 72-64 with 4:20 left in the 3rd. Bulls ball after the offensive foul and they'll look to extend their largest lead of the game. Ouch. Hiney either got hit below the belt or got the wind knocked out of him. Judging by the way he was walking, I'd say the former.
Strange game so far. The Sonics turned the ball over on their first three possessions and the Bulls jumped to a 7-2 lead. Seattle then nailed their first four shots from beyond the arc and had a 21-11 lead. Many sloppy plays and missed layups later, the Bulls go into halftime with a 56-53 advantage.
Deng was shooting before today's game. He looked a little ginger out there but was hitting his shots. Fortson was suspended for one game by the Sonics due to "conduct detrimental to the team" that occured during practice. We won't see him tonight. From ESPN.com:
Hinrich also needs to just stop shooting right now. After missing three wide open threes, it's about time to pass it off. And Gordon shouldn't have to throw up a shot like that. Ugly.
LOL. I've never seen two players unable to help a guy off the floor befire. It looked like he was going to drag them down with him. Gordon's hot shooting continues.
Milwaukee are getting some lucky offensive rebounds; they're out of position but somehow tip the ball around and end up with possesion. Down 70-63 after 3. :( I'd place more blame on the Bulls than credit the Bucks' luck. Nice to see them finally missing some open shots. This is exactly the start to the fourth that the Bulls needed to have. By the way, I think they may need a crane to pick up Harrington the next time he falls down.
This is the first Bulls game I've been able to watch in probably at least three weeks. The Bulls took the 6-4 lead with about 5:30 left in the first and haven't looked back yet. 21-16 at the end of the first quarter.
