Season ends for Bulls
My Sunday play-off tickets were null and voided after the Washington Wizards beat the Bulls 94-91 on Friday night to exit the play-offs. I sat at home and watched the pain unfold as Bulls failed to convert their superiority into points. Twice Chicago led by 10 points and in Charlton style, an inbound ball hit the not-paying-attention Chris Duhon on the back of the head to give Wizards a break-away match-winning 2 points with 30 seconds to go.
The defeat ends a memorable comeback season for the Bulls who at the beginning of December were 4-14. With both London born players Luol Deng and Ben Gordon being chosen in the NBA All-Rookie First Team Scott Skiles young team look set to get better and better.
The Wizards got hammered on Sunday night by title favourites Miami Heat in the first game of the 2nd Round. For the record the last 8 teams face up as follows:
East
Miami Heat v Washington Wizards
Detroit Pistons v Indiana Pacers
West
Phoenix Suns v Dallas Mavericks
San Antonio Spurs v Seattle Sonics ¶ 00:19
