NBA (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Guard Andre Barrett scored to cut Seattle's lead to three, and then Victor Khryapa took over. The 6-foot-9-inch Russian hit a three-point shot to tie the game at 92 and then answered Seattle forward Damien Wilkins' three-point play with another game tying three-pointer. Khryapa scored 13 points for the game and the Chicago's bench out-scored Seattle's bench 66-51.
"Ithought Victor was outstanding," said Bulls coach Scott Skiles. "He made a couple of big shots."
A minute later, a Chicago's Tyrus Thomas made an even bigger shot with his team down 98-96. Andre Barrett took the ball up the court with 13 seconds left and found Khryapa at the top of the key. Khryapa then swung the ball to a wide-open Thomas with six seconds on the clock. The rookie Thomas didn't even hesitate before sinking a jumper just in front of the three-point arch to send the game into overtime.
Thomas, who finished with 12
points, saved the game again in the
extra period by icing the game with a free throw to put Chicago up for good 110-105. Not all the players were thrilled at having to play five more minutes.
"There's nothing worse than an overtime game in exhibition," Skiles said. "Except, it's nice to get some end of game stuff with Tyrus out there."
Although Allen said he would have liked to be on the floor with the game on the line, the 10-year veteran had no problem leaving the outcome in the hands of the younger players.
"In these situations you don't want to take away from the guys trying to make the team," Allen said.
Former Missouri guard Kareem Rush also sued up for the Sonics. Rush, who isn't guaranteed a roster spot, didn't play because of a groin injury.

two Final Fours in that time span.
On Sunday afternoon nearly 13,000 fans showed up to watch an NBA preseason game between Hinrich's Chicago Bulls and Collison's Seattle SuperSonics.
"It's probably the most exciting preseason game I've ever played." Hinrich said. "For that many people to show up, it's great to see all those fans here."
Fans made their feelings for the returning Jayhawks felt early in the game. Hinrich committed a foul less than 10 seconds into the game and boos rained down. A basket or good play for either player drew the loudest cheers.

The game was the first time that either Collison or Hinrich had returned to the fieldhouse floor wearing anything other than Jayhawk blue. It also marked the first of several times that the two and their teams will meet throughout the season.
"It was kind of weird being here with a different group of people," Collison said. "Two separate parts of my life kind of combined."
Emotions aside, both Hinrich and Collison said the game itself wasn't pretty. The two combined for seven turnovers. Sloppy play aside, the duo gave Kansas faithful plenty of reasons to cheer.
Collison finished the game with 12 points and 10 rebounds in 27 minutes of play. He left the game midway through the third quarter with cramps and did not return. Hinirch had 11 points and four

assists in 27 minutes.
Despite playing on opposing teams, Hinrich and Collison enjoyed taking the court in front of the fans who supported them throughout their collegiate careers.
"It's nice to feel appreciated," Hinrich said. "Kansas fans, they're great. They're diehard and I appreciate them a lot more than they appreciate me, probably."
