With about 5 minutes left, the Bulls and the Bucks were locked in a defensive battle where every basket was important. Easy baskets were very hard to come by for the most part, but Chicago ended up giving the Bucks a lay-up. The Bucks took advantage and kept the lead for the rest of the game.
As the Bulls start their possession, they run a side pick and roll involving Luol Deng and Derrick Rose.
After a broken play where Oklahoma City scored to put the Thunder up 1 with 5.0 seconds left, the Utah Jazz needed a basket coming out of a timeout, and Jerry Sloan sure didn’t disappoint. What happened afterwords (I am not even getting into it) shouldn’t take away from that:
The Jazz are set up in your standard box set coming out of a timeout. Usually, you will have your point guard come up from the low post off of a screen on the elbow. Instead, Carlos Boozer simply turns around, pins his man (Jeff Green) on his back, and makes the catch.
