Dwyane Wade helps lead Bulls to 102-99 win over Kings

Wade drops 30, makes key plays down the stretch Saturday in the Bulls much-needed win

Dwyane Wade isn’t Flash anymore, the superhero so designated by Shaquille O’Neal, whose 2006 Finals was so magnificent that ESPN a few years back rated it the greatest Finals performance ever. But the Chicago kid still has some nights left in him, and Saturday was one with 30 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, four blocks and a half dozen brilliant offensive and defensive plays in the last five minutes that enabled the Bulls to defeat the Sacramento Kings 102-99.

“You find yourself in a situation like that in a close game, you have to find a way to rise up and make big plays and Wade made them,” said Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg.
