to me, this win is both a testament to the importance of interior defense and also a good sign that the bulls may be ready to turn things around.
the bulls were bullying into the paint and clearly trying to avoid the over-jumpshooting. and even though perkins is quite a defensive presence himself, its clear that having 2 good defenders in the paint can work wonders.
the bulls handled this game from the beginning, which is pretty awesome. this game was essentially a rematch of last years playoffs, only swap bg for deng and add our 2 rookies. in boston, of all places.
it felt great watching the greens leave the building, so silent and somber.... chumps.
