Bulls Fall in Game Seven

The Bulls hung tough on Saturday night in game seven of their first-round series with the Boston Celtics, but were just unable to get it done in the waning moments of the game.  The Bulls fell to the Celtics 109-99, though the game was closer than that final score would indicate.  Chicago was unable to get stops at critical junctures late in the game, which is what ultimately sealed their fate.  Ben Gordon didn’t have a great shooting night from the floor, but kept his team in it by making a living at the line.  Gordon scored 15 of his 33 points from the charity stripe in the losing effort.

Ray Allen was again the leading scorer for the Celtics with 23 points.  He hit some big shots down the stretch and was a perfect nine for nine from the line, many of those free throws coming when it mattered most.  This series was undoubtedly the most exciting first-round matchup this blogger has ever witnessed.  The two teams needed seven overtimes to decide the series and every game, save game three, was a closely contested one.  The Bulls played some of their best basketball of the season in this series and things are looking up for this franchise going into next season.
