The top player for the Bulls was Derrick Rose with 33 points, shooting 11 of 24 from the floor. He was big in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points. This is the first time in this series where Rose had shot less than 27 shots for his team. Prior to this game, he averaged 28.25 shots a game. Luol Deng added 23 points for the Bulls. Keith Bogans scored 11 points, which means the Bulls are now 30-2 when he scores six or more points. For Atlanta, its leading scorer was Jeff Teague, who scored 21 points. Jeff Teague has been playing huge since filling in for Kirk Hinrich, who has been out because of his right hamstring. It has been almost two weeks since his injury, and hamstrings usually take a month to heal. Anyways, Teague has averaged 17 points in this series, including tonight's performance. Josh Smith added 16 points. Game six is Thursday in Atlanta, where the Hawks will try to keep their season alive.
