Hinrich had 30 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, and Marcus Banks who started for the second night in a row, had 18 points and a team-leading 7 assists.
Chicago lost two players to injuries in the game, including Maik Allen who was taken to the hospital with a head injury and Chris Duhon witha bruised jaw in the second quarter.

With 2:30 left in the game, Marcus Banks pulled the Wolves within 8 points of the Bulls on a three pointer, followed by a Banks two pointer at 103-96. Garnett then hit a three, to put the Wolves down 7 105-98. |
