It wouldn't be a regular-season finale without a banged-up Chicago Bull.
Power forward Taj Gibson left Wednesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks with a strained left shoulder. He did not return. After the game, he said he received a cortisone shot, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
He added he'll be ready to go against the Milwaukee Bucks in round one.
