NBA: TORONTO PORAZIO CHICAGO

NEW YORK, 25. ožujka (Hina/Reuter) - Chicago Bullsi i nadalji konkuriraju za prvu momčad u povijesti lige sa 70 pobjeda, ali ako im to ne uspije, možda će sinoćnji poraz u Torontu (108:109) biti ključan. Raptorsi su iznenadili Bullse, u čije redove se vratio Pippen (10, 9 skokova), no ni to nije pomoglo jer su kod Kanađana vrlo dobro odigrali Damon Stoudamire (30, 11 asistencija, trice 6:8 - "rookie" rekord), Tracy Murray (23, 12 skokova) i Žan Tabak, koji je za 18 minuta u igri ubacio 12 koševa (šut 6:11), uz šest skokova. Kod Bullsa poslovično najučinkovitiji Michael Jordan (36, 14:22), a Toni Kukoč je u startnoj petorci prebačen na "četvorku", što je on solidno odigrao postigavši za 42 minute 23 poena (10:19, trice 2:5), devet skokova i dva dodavanja.
