Bulls trail 76ers after wild first quarter

After following an early-season pattern by sleepwalking through the early stages of a game, the Bulls ripped off a 16-0 run before Andre Iguodala's 3-pointer at the buzzer pushed the Philadelphia 76ers ahead 23-22 after one quarter Saturday at the United Center.

The Bulls trailed 20-6 and were starting to hear from some early boobirds before Derrick Rose scored to start the spurt. The 16-0 run received its exclamation point when Joakim Noah drove down the right wing and emphatically slammed home a basket with 1:33 remaining in the quarter.

Kirk Hinrich's jumper with 2.8 seconds left pushed the run to 16-0 and appeared to give the Bulls the first-quarter lead. But Iguodala swished a deep 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded.

Are you even watching the game K.C.? Granted Rose did score the first basked in a 16-0 spurt, but the story of Q1 was Bulls with Rose at PG trail 20-10. Bulls with Hinrich at PG score 12 unanswered pints before the last second launch by the sixers goes in.
