The real story is the Brooklyn Nets have found a way to tie the Series after being down 3-1 and now the series heads back to Flatbush for a Game Seven as the Nets win 95-92. The Bulls hung tough as the biggest lead was eight by the Nets. A see saw affair that could have went either way as it seemed like both teams split the 50/50 Oranges and both teams had all hands on deck with plenty of players hitting the books.
The Nets were led by their big three of D-Will 8, Lopez and JJ with 17 points each. Wallace added 15 and Blatche 10 with Reggie Evans 15 boards. The Nets did what they had to do and ironically it was their Big Dawgs that carried the load offensively.
The Bulls Marco Belenelli had a game-high 22 points, seven helpers, and five boards as he did a yeoman's job at the Big Guard Slot for See Red. KRYPTOnate had 18, the See Red Butler...Jimmy 17 to lead the Bulls Attack. If you would have told me before the Game who was playing and not playing and gave me the numbers on C-Booz 5 (14 pts 13 rebs) and Jo Knows (14 pts 15 rebs 5 assts) I would have told you the Bulls are advancing.
The difference in the game was who was more aggressive going to the rim instead of settling for jump shots as that was evident by the foul shooting. Nets had 3 attempts the Bulls had 18 attempts and the Bulls lose by three after a home-cooked meal...it all adds up.
The dreaded Game Seven will be Saturday May 4 in Brooklyn at the Barclays as the Bulls hopefully will have everyone rolling of course but D-Rose.
