Kirk Hinrich sees a rare fall after Ty Lawson crossover
Last night, the Chicago Bulls were in Colorado for a Mile-High visit to the Pepsi Center. The Denver Nuggets were looking to get a win and improve back to .500 ball, when they witnessed Derrick Rose leave action only 10 minutes in, due to hamstring tightness. Denver would take advantage of the Bulls being without their most talented player for a major win at home, 114-109. Led by the heroics of Ty Lawson scoring 20 points and 12 assist, the all-star point guard would set his print on the game with a wicked crossover against Kirk Hinrich.
What made this highlight more special, is Hinrich is one of the league’s most respected wing-defenders, and was on the island by himself to get exposed for one play at the hands of Lawson. The crossover was so bad, a Bulls fan below had a (legal?) vapor pen to take away stress from that play and Rose leaving the game, again.
