=== Chicago Bulls Team Report - March 4 === (My Sportsbook) - The Chicago Bulls had their two-game winning streak stopped in dramatic fashion on Wednesday with a 100-97 setback to the New Orleans Hornets Jamal Crawford poured in a game-high 34 points and hit a three-pointer in the final seconds of overtime that tied the game for the Bulls, who fell for the fifth time in their last seven games. Crawford had a chance to win it at the end of regulation, but he ran the clock down and his last-second shot fell short, sending the game into overtime tied at 91-91. A three-pointer by Crawford with 9.8 seconds left in overtime tied the game at 97-97, but the Hornets saved the heroics for one final shot. Jamal Mashburn received the ball at the top of the key and knocked down a turnaround three- pointer just as the buzzer sounded to give New Orleans the three-point overtime win. The Bulls have lost three straight and 12 of their last 13 as the visitor and are 6-20 away from home this season. Kirk Hinrich, who finished with 12 points, has scored in double digits in nine straight games. Chicago will wrap up their brief two-game road trip on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. |
