On Saturday, a group of us drove down to Portland to do some shopping and catch the Bulls play in Portland. Well, if I thought Friday night's game was nerve racking, it was nothing compared to what would happen on Saturday night. Our seats were the exact opposite of what we had the night before. We were literally the 4th to last row in the stadium. It was so high that if we looked straight ahead rather than down, we would look at the BACKS of some of the scoreboards. Wow...but to be fair, our tickets were only $10, so what do you expect?
The game was ugly all around. Both teams shot terribly to start the game. The Bulls only scored 12 points in the first quarter and seemed lucky to get that. They went on a tear during the 2nd quarter and it looked like this was going to be a blowout. But, they went cold in the 3rd quarter and back came the Blazers. The 4th quarter was extremely tight. The Bulls ended up getting some key stops on defense and Ben Gordon (33 points) nailed some key free throws to put the game away. In the end, the Bulls walked away with an 88-86 win. Whew!
