A Wild Night In Chicago Ends With A Bulls Victory

Behind Derrick Rose’s career night and the hot shooting of Kirk Hinrich, Chicago is a victory away from clinching a playoff spot after Tuesday’s 101-93 victory over the visiting Celtics. But that was not the biggest news of the night.

Hours before tip-off, the story broke that Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro had a physical confrontation with executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson last month.

If the Bulls players were distracted by the news becoming public, they did not show it. The folks at Blog-A-Bull, SB Nation’s Bulls blog, admitted it was difficult to concentrate on the game at the start but concluded it was a memorable night all around.

That’s right, a big win can’t have me forget that, as it may be the most entertaining of all the stories to come from this messed-up Org. in the past couple years. In fact, I think the giddiness of following the details (not only the story itself but how it was reported) and reading all the jokes at their expense against the backdrop of a big (and entertaining) Bulls victory made this one of the more memorable nights in BaB history. Can’t wait for more details to come out tomorrow. Oh, and that final game too.
