The Bulls are seeing red alright.
MVP Derrick Rose once again led the first seeded Bulls with 33 points and 9 assists in their 95-83 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to push the Hawks to the brink of elimination last night at Chicago.
Luol Deng camback strong after struggling in Atlanta scoring 23 points and Taj Gibson scored all of his 11 points in the 4th quarter to lead an 26-15 rampage in the last quarter of this pivotal game.
Chicago was given everything they can handle especially in the 3rd quarter when the Hawks shot 60 percent from the field to overcome a 15 point deficit and threaten the Bulls of another strong finishing surge.
Jeff Teague came out with another 21 point performance to lead the Hawks. Josh Smith chipped in 16 points, Joe Johnson scored 15 and Al Horford contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Game 6 will be in Atlanta where the Hawks will try to tie things up to force a Game 7 in Chicago while the Bulls will look to secure their ticket to the East Finals.
