Each morning we'll take a spin around the city and check out some of the most interesting stories of the day…

Rick Morrissey says that the Bulls-Celtics classic "deserved a clock that didn't know when to stop." I agree, Rick. Last night's game was one of the best NBA games I have ever seen. [Chicago Tribune]

Vinny Del Negro and Doc Rivers are actually close friends. K.C. Johnson also reminds us that Del Negro grew up as a Celtics fan and Rivers grew up as a Bulls fan … interesting how times have changed. [Chicago Tribune]

Carol Slezak believes Del Negro deserves a lot of credit for the way the Bulls have responded in the playoffs. [Sun-Times]

John Jackson writes that it was fitting the Bulls and Celtics played such a great game on the 23rd anniversary of Michael Jordan's famous 63-point explosion at the Boston Garden. [Sun Times]

The Bulls had no answer for Rajon Rondo during Game 2. In order to win this series they've got to find a way to slow him down. [Boston Globe]

The Hawks are a completely different team when Patrick Kane's not on the ice. [Chicago Tribune]

Neil Hayes tells us that you can't count out the Flames because the Calgary crowd always gives its players a little extra motivation. It was rocking in the Saddledome last night. [Sun-Times]

Bobby Jenks continues to prove his critics wrong. The big right-hander is becoming more of a pitcher and less of a thrower. [Sun-Times]

The Cubs have got to find a way to get Micah Hoffpauir some more at-bats. [Chicago Tribune]
