Bulls vs. Thunder 12/6

Very happy the Bulls won, but can't help feeling they could have done better against a team that shot below 40% along with Durant sitting the majority of the 3rd quarter. It did not feel like the Bulls played the full 6o minutes, especially at the end of the game. I understand trying to hold them off, but sometimes that leads to letting the other team back in the game, which I felt almost happened last night. Also, if I were at the game, I would be upset that the Bulls were one point away from getting me a free Big Mac.

All that aside, holding OKC to 90 points and below 35% shooting is pretty good. There were quite a few great defensive series forcing OKC to take a lot of bad shots. OKC was putting a lot of pressure on Rose, but that was fine since Boozer was coming up big for the Bulls. If only Noah wasn't "put in a box" the Bulls could have had their two big men with double-doubles. Still, it doesn't look like the Bulls are going to start getting calls going their way anytime soon and even if they started going to the line more, they have to make free throws. Under 60% last night from the line...terrible.

A good win to avenge the game 1 loss. Deng is still playing great and Rose + Boozer in the paint = money. Please comment as your analysis will probably be more in depth than my cliché ridden post.

Go Bulls
