During the pregame the Bulls announcers assumed that if the Bulls had their choice they would choose the Magic as their first round opponent. They needed a win at home against the Raptors or a Cavs win at home against Philly. Neither happened.
This was one was basically over after the first as the Raps outscored the Bulls 32-18. Most surprising was that the Raps killed the Bulls on the boards, outrebounding them 57-40. Shawn Marion had 34 points on 15-18 shooting, plus 11 boards. Chris Bosh had 21 & 19. That is what you call ending the year on a high note.
Here is the craziest play of the game, and maybe of the whole season:
So the Bulls end up 41-41 and get the World Champion Celtics in Round 1. Check back later as we’ll look into the Bulls final regular season stats.

On the plus side, KG will be KO’d, right?
True, but it still seems very unlikely the Bulls will take the series. I’m just hoping that the Bulls don’t embarrass themselves!
