The Bulls raced out to a 77-56 lead after three quarters and then they cruised to victory yesterday. The Bulls outrebounded the Pistons 51-33 and they held the Pistons to 37.3% shooting from the floor. The Bulls will need to play with the same passion they did yesterday to have any chance of making this series go longer. Luol Deng was outstanding yesterday with 25 points and 13 rebounds to lead the way for the Bulls. Ben Gordon didn’t shoot well (4 for 11) but he still wound up with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Kirk Hinrich came alive and played his best game in the playoffs this season with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. Ben Wallace played with fire as he scored 11 points, snapped up 17 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, stole the ball 2 times and blocked 2 shots. Rookie Tyrus Thomas was outstanding in his 14 minutes on the floor with 10 points and 7 rebounds. The Bulls are now down 3-1 to the Pistons in this series.Â
