I can't pinpoint the exact moment when Bulls-Bucks Game 5 became the sort of game that raises your blood pressure, turns your insides upside down and makes you want to throw the remote through the TV, but I know it got there eventually. Let's be real, there were plenty of different trigger warnings: the Bulls shot only 7-for-30 in that fourth quarter, went 3-for-20 on shots in the paint for the period and, on the night, hit under 30 percent (8-of-27) of their uncontested jumpers.
It was like watching a particularly frustrating Bears game, the kind where they can't get anything going all day but are still within striking distance, so you stick with it hoping for the best.
