From ESPN: Tom Thibodeau sent a strong wake-up message to his team at a heated shootaround Monday morning. He got the response he was looking for.
Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds,
Luol Deng scored 18 points and the Chicago Bulls
held Atlanta to a franchise-low 20 points in the first half of a 97-58 victory
over the Hawks on Monday night....
The Bulls held the Hawks to just five points in the second quarter and led 48-20
at the break. Ivan Johnson had a basket for the Hawks with
2:54 left in the first quarter, and Atlanta did not score again until Al Horford's tip with 5:15 left in the
second. The Hawks missed 17 consecutive shots during the drought while getting
outscored 14-0.
They finished 2 for 21 from the field in the second quarter, with Smith making a
free throw and a jumper for Atlanta's other points. The Hawks shot 20.5 percent
on 8-of-39 shooting in the first half. Josh Smith was 3 for 10 and Horford 2 for
8 in the opening two periods. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400278278
5 points in the 2nd quarter and 20 points in a half? And these are NBA players and not Special Olympians?
Talk about embarrassing.
