The Chicago Bulls clinched homecourt advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs by defeating the New York Knicks with a game-winning shot by Ben Gordon.

"I knew I had to get to my spot," said Gordon. "I knew it was going to go in. I knew I was going to get the last bucket and make the shot."

Gordon scored 16 points, while Kirk Hinrich had 34 points in the 92-91 victory.

While the Bulls celebrated hosting the Wizards, they also spoiled Jamal Crawford's return to Chicago.  Crawford scored 24 points, but missed a shot at the buzzer, which would have won the game for the Knicks.
