Earlier this week, the Bulls won their 3rd straight in a blowout victory against the Wizards. It was one of those games they would typically get complacent in, but they played through it and maintained a comfortable lead throughout. The Wizards don't really have a team, especially after dealing away Kirk Hinrich to the playoff-heading Hawks. They get Bibby in return, but then sent him off to Miami.
Just last night, the Bulls ended their streak by blowing a 19-point lead against Hinrich's current team. Though the Bulls had a nice lead into halftime, Hinrich was doing a great job on Rose and that turned out to be the difference in the game. The Hawks cut the lead with a 13-3 run in the 3rd quarter and didn't get the lead until the final minute of the 4th. But if you do the math, Hinrich kept Rose to below his average and that was really the difference in the game. True, Korver airballed a 3 that would've made a difference, but it shouldn't have come down to that.
