The Bulls looked lost and the pucker effect set in late in the 4th. The coach should have seen what I saw which was a Wizards team with no momentum late in the fourth, ripe for the picking, and the Bulls let them hang around instead of stomping on their throat and putting the game away.
I agree with the lack of scorers comment (and that has a lot to do with it, I agree 100%), but I didn't see a counter move to Whitman's adjustments. If there was one, it failed which means Thibodeau got out coached.
