Hawks in heaven, Bulls not so much

While the Blackhawks closed St. Louis to reach the Western Conference semifinals, the Bulls are in deep trouble. Well, one out of two ain't bad.

Taj has entered the game, folks.

Taj Gibson has 10 points in 7 minutes.

This is a bit surprising. Former Blackhawk Chris Chelios said "I wouldn't give us a chance" against the current Hawks.

redeyechicago.comChris Chelios played on some of the most electrifying Blackhawks teams ever, teaming with the likes of Jeremy Roenick and Ed Belfour on a memorable Stanley Cup Finals run in the early '90s.

Dunleavy scoreless on 3 shots after 35-point Game 3. Wizards had good plan against him but he needs more shots.

Boozer gets a flagrant-one. Surprised at that one. He made play for ball. Guess Wittman's "6th grade flag football" comment is right.

Foul on Gibson

by jgalliart 4/27/2014 6:56:59 PM
Yeah, we can't believe this shit, either, guys. Bulls down by 20 at the end of the third, 82-62.

Dunleavy had X-rays taken to see if left thumb is broken. Didn't know results when he addressed media. Said he will play Game 5 either way.

I don't know who got this in, but it definitely went in, so ... Blackhawks up, 4-1!

Good push, Gassy Shaw. (via @peteblackburn)

Fancy footwork for goal No. 5 of the game.
