matt: yes, the rockets and the bulls are really hot at the moment.
dan: they sure are, matt! and i think one of the main reasons for this is having chinese star yao ming on the team. he’s been absolutely outstanding for the rockets this season.
matt: as a rockets fan, you must be delighted.
dan: i am delighted, matt, but a little nervous.
matt: why’s that?
dan: well, you remember that the chicago bulls used to rely too much on michael jordon?
matt: yeah, that’s right, dan.
dan: well, i think maybe the rockets expect too much from yao ming sometimes. he’s a terrific player, but he can’t do everything by himself.
matt: that’s true, dan. well, the teams are coming out onto the court now, and just listen to the crowd.

matt: well, that’s the end of the game and the chicago bulls have beaten the houston rockets by the smallest of margins – 101 points to 100. an amazing game, but very disappointing for rockets fans who were expecting something more from this very talented team. dan…
dan: well, matt, i’m absolutely exhausted after watching that match. it was fantastic—this is the kind of game we love to see. there was a lot of action, and some great plays. both teams showed a lot of character. and boy, they had a lot of stamina—they all ran and ran and ran!
matt: and there was a lot of skilful play, too.
dan: you’re right, matt. but i have to say i’m a little disappointed. i thought the rockets would win this one.
matt: so, a few details about the game. jamal crawford was the bulls leading scorer with a magnificent 32 points. steve francis was the rockets top scorer with 25 points, yao ming scored 20 and cuttino mobley scored 19. the rockets led by two points going into the 4th quarter, and were 69-61 in the lead with just under nine minutes to play. but the bulls came back to cut the lead to two points at 76-74, and then, with just seven seconds left of normal time, jamal crawford scored a three-pointer to tie the game at 83-83, which meant overtime. the period of overtime was fast and furious, incredible exciting for the crowd. in fact, the action was non-stop all night! there were only two timeouts in the entire game. final score: houston rockets 100, chicago bulls 101.
