With seven minutes left in the third period of the Bulls 93-90 win over the Raptors, Toronto guard T.J. Ford accidentally kicked Kirk Hinrich in the face after the Raptors guard had knived in front of Hinrich on a successful steal attempt.

One possession later, trainer Fred Tedeschi tended to Hinrich on the bench. When Hinrich continued to bleed from the nose, however, he was escorted to the locker room, but not before he kicked a chair in disgust.

Nearly four minutes later, Hinrich returned to the bench with a plug in his right nostril. The nose was not broken.

"It was kind of bizarre the way it happened," Hinrich said. "But I knew something was wrong as soon as he kicked me, because I heard a crack."
