The normally defensive-minded Bulls allowed 34 points in the fourth quarter and lost for only the second time in the previous 12 games. I dont wont to overreact, but I dont want to under-react either, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said afterward. You always ask yourselves before you start, theres two questions: did you play hard enough and did you execute properly? The readiness to play, that part is really my responsibility. I didnt like that part of it at all. Thibodeaus squad is 16-5 against teams from the East and 10-1 on the road against conference foes. After visiting DC, the Bulls will return to Chicago for three straight games versus Milwaukee, Orlando and Washington. Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy (ankle) is questionable against the Wizards.

Rasual Butler netted 14 points and both Bradley Beal and Marcin Gortat ended with 12 points. Gortat also grabbed 11 rebounds.

The Brazil right back was under no pressure when he guided a 48th-minute floated cross by Swiss forward Haris Seferovic into the top left corner of the net, leaving goalkeeper Jefferson helpless. Brazil star Neymar had a frustrating match, enduring some tough challenges before being shown a yellow card in the 23rd for a hard tackle on defender Stephan Lichtsteiner. "He went in to hurt," Lichtsteiner told Swiss broadcaster RTS. "The victory was deserved. We showed that if we have space to play, were a super team. Keeping a clean sheet against a team like that, its really special." Neymars inswinging cross from the left wing in the 38th created Brazils best opportunity but Paulinhos header clipped the top of the Swiss crossbar. World Cup host Brazil had won its six previous matches, including five at the Confederations Cup to win the warm-up event in June. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolaris team was last beaten in February, 2-1 away to England. The unbeaten streak ended in Switzerland where it began in March when drawing 2-2 with Italy in Geneva. Switzerland stretched its unbeaten run to 10 matches since May 2012. The two teams could meet again at the World Cup. Switzerland is unbeaten in qualifying and leads its group by four points with four matches remaining. The match paired the last two teams to beat world and European champion Spain in competitive matches: Brazil won 3-0 in the Confederations Cup final, and the Swiss earned a 1-0 upset in a 2010 World CCup group match.

The Barcelona forward was cynically pulled back in the 11th when skipping past defender Philippe Senderos who was booked. Neymar soon lashed out at Valon Behrami, protesting he was first elbowed by the Swiss midfielder. He was booked in the 23rd for a rough challenge on right-back Lichtsteiner. Behrami was shown a yellow card in the melee of players that followed. When Brazils football flowed, Hulks shot with his weaker right foot was saved by onrushing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. Oscar almost finished off a swift break following a Swiss corner in the 44th, but clipped his shot too high when found by Hulks clever pass. Switzerland was bright in attack and tested goalkeeper Jefferson with accurate long-range shooting. Xherdan Shaqiri was twice denied by diving saves, in the 19th and 43rd minutes, and the Botafogo keeper almost spilled Granit Xhakas 27th-minute drive over the goal line. Jefferson could do nothing three minutes into the second half when Dani Alves rose to place an intended headed clearance of Seferovics cross high into the Brazil goal. Seferovic threatened twice more within minutes, firing a shot too high when clear, then putting Jefferson under pressure in front of goal when the keeper badly misjudged a back pass. Hulk almost levelled in the 62nd but fired his first-time shot just over the goal from 15 metres (yards). Shaqiri fired just too high again in the 67th as the Bayern Munich attacker showed himself equal to Neymar on the night. ' ' '
