WASHINGTON _ The chipped teeth that Tyson Chandler and Jalen Rose sported Saturday night in the aftermath of Washington's 101-93 victory paled in comparison to the chips on the Bulls' collective shoulders.
Following a physical game in which Washington enjoyed a 42-15 advantage in free-throw attempts and Chandler and Donyell Marshall were ejected, the Bulls unloaded a season's worth of frustrations in five minutes of postgame disgust.
The Bulls, who dropped to 3-30 on the road in Michael Jordan's last game against the organization he led to six championships, took greatest and angriest exception to a favorable call for Jordan.
Remember those days?
With the Bulls trailing 89-76 and 4 minutes 37 seconds remaining, Jordan hit Jalen Rose in the neck and head with force as he attempted to steal the ball. The Bulls, who had been called for five technical fouls and one flagrant foul at this point, flipped when Jordan avoided a flagrant foul.
Officials told coach Bill Cartwright that the personal foul would be reviewed and possibly awarded flagrant status at a later date.
