Butler had 28 points, four rebounds and four assists, and was the hero of the night. When he couldn’t get adequately loose in pregame warmps, the Bulls made a decision to take what Hoiberg deemed a “cautious” approach. Brooks committed a costly turnover with 25 seconds left and Monta Ellis sank a 3-pointer with 3.7 seconds left after Solomon Hill beat Taj Gibson to rebound Ellis’ first 3-point miss. Kirk Hinrich started in his place, though he played just 12:34. Butler then hit two free throws and Chicago got the ball back after George Hill’s turnover.
