The Bulls were down 21 points at one point in the game but would not quit….and they almost won the game because of that effort. Ben Gordon was on fire, scoring 37 points and grabbing 6 rebounds. Luol Deng had a solid all-around game with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Andres Nocioni pitched in with 13 points. Kirk Hinrich had a decent game with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.Â

It’s hard to win when you get out-rebounded 48-35 like the Bulls did. But give them an A for effort, because they didn’t lay down. The Bulls have fallen to 3-5 on the season.
