The effort and energy certainly picked up in the fourth quarter and OT but in the end the Raps made plays and the Bulls did not as the Raps prevailed in OT.

The Bulls had their chances but missed opportunities cost them. Meantime it was the Bosh-Bargnani and Calderon show for the Raps.

The Bulls will get a day off as they prepare for Tuesday’s road game in Indy. John Salmons is banged up and couldn’t go in the fouth quarter or OT.

I appreciate the fact that the Bulls didn’t quit as they fought through physical and mental fatigue in their fifth game in seven nights.

With Detroit’s win the Bulls drop to the eight seed in the Eastern Conference.

Audio recap:

If I were UK I would recah out to Tom Izzo and John Calipari. How about Michigan State? In Detroit at the Final 4? Good luck to U-Conn. Spartans should be favored to win it all.

Always a pleasure. cswirsky@bulls.com
