The sellout crowd at the American Airlines Center groaned in unison as the arena big screens showed the replay of Wesley Matthews’ right leg gruesomely buckling in the fourth quarter Friday evening. Matthews heard it loud and clear as he stared at the hardwood, lying facedown in the spot where he fell, hoping he hadn’t suffered a season-ending injury for the second straight March.

“If there’s one positive, it’s that Wes is OK,” Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki said after a 130-112 loss to the historically great Golden State Warriors.

The Chicago Bulls have hired former Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Billy Donovan as their new head coach, the team announced Tuesday.

Arturas Karnisovas, the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations, aggressively pursued Donovan after the coach left the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources said, selling Donovan on a partnership and vision for a talented young roster and a chance to lead one of the league’s anchor franchises.

In an official statement, Donovan thanked the team’s ownership “for the opportunity to coach the Chicago Bulls” and said he is looking forward to working with Karnisovas.
