Not that we didn't try. We were giving Chicago the same open looks they got in the first two games, they just didn't make 80% of them this time.

What this game shows me is that warts and all the Wiz can win in the playoffs, but they have to hustle and not let themselves get intimidated.

As much as I am a Chicago fan, I agree with this statement. I think Skiles has the Bull playing closer to their ceiling a lot more than Jordan has the Wiz. Didn't like to lose, but the Wiz definitely deserved the win. Let's hope the Bull gets back on track on Monday.

On offense? No doubt.

On defense? No way.

That's what makes this such a good series IMHO, the total contrast in styles of play.
