Stung

The Bulls played well again and even had a comfortable lead coming into the 4th quarter. Gordon had 31 off the bench. Gooden had a double double. Deng and Hughes were also in double digits. There wasn't much from the other players, but that's not why they lost tonight. The went through yet another 4th quarter shutdown. Chris Paul was unstoppable on the other end... or it was more like poor defense. The Hawks won their game tonight, moving another game ahead. The Bulls don't really deserve the 8th seed this time around. This is not typical of their game play when compared to their amazing 2nd half runs of the past 3 years. They're going in the opposite direction this year.
