The forecasts are met and the Chicago Bulls achieved the desired return to the Eastern Conference final after defeating the Hawks 93-73 in Atlanta in the sixth game of the qualifying semi-final they won by 4-2 to the best of seven.
The power forward Carlos Boozer had 23 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and a rebound the ball for the Bulls, the team with the best record in the league during the regular season, you get your ticket to the finals for the first time since 1998 have as a rival to the new "Beach Boys" of the Miami Heat, which eliminated 4-1 to the Boston Celtics.
The guard Derrick Rose, winner of Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the league, also did his job to get another double-double of 19 points, 12 assists and four rebounds.
While the Sudanese forward Luol Deng scored 13 points, center Joakim Noah reached 11 and the reserve forward Taj Gibson continued on their upward trend with 10 goals.
But if the attack was successful and winning, the defense of the Bulls gave no option to key players from the Hawks as a team we were left with only 36 percent of success in the shooting.
The Bulls, who had gone to rest with the partial advantage of 35-45, were always in control of the shares and the marker, without the camp factor, the Philips Arena in Atlanta, will generate any kind of problem.
Chicago team, which did not reach a conference final since last season they were together with the team base guard Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen will have the biggest challenge when he faces from the Heat on Sunday at the United Center in the opener of the best of seven series.
The Hawks, on the same line in recent seasons, confirmed the lack of a star player in the team and the escort Joe Johnson when he was paid tens of millions to continue as a man did not show excess field in the decisive moments.
Teague scored four points, nothing to do with the 21 he had achieved in the previous two games.
not the 18 points provided by the power forward Josh Smith would change the party's history because it was no help under the basket when he most needed.
The power forward Al Horford was not at his best, seven points and four rebounds in 37 minutes of action was not going to be the production expected from the player the Hawks Caribbean, which was included in the third NBA team regular season with guard Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs.
Horford was left with only two baskets in 10 shots, the same brand that established the reserve guard Jamal Crawford, another key player in the attack of the Hawks during the regular season had been instrumental in the team's offense Atlanta.
The Hawks, as they did last year, returned to being eliminated in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference, why coach Mike Woodson fired and replaced by his assistant Larry Drew, who made his debut in the NBA and not able to reach the final.
