Friday night, the Chicago Bulls took over in the second half due to the tremendous help of Derrick Rose and defeated the Clippers on the road. Rose had 29 points, 16 assists, along with eight rebounds to help lift the Bulls over the Clippers with a final score of 114-101. It was nothing but exciting to watch Rose and Chris Paul go head to head, but Rose seemed unstoppable in nearly every facet of the game. Paul had a solid game himself with 15 points, 14 assists, and 4 steals but didn't seem to be enough as Rose and his supporting cast found a way to put up more points than the Clippers. Griffin had 34 points and 5 rebounds shooting 14-25 from the field, and was the leading scorer on the Clippers with not much help behind him besides Paul's contributions. Rose seems to be growing into one of the league's best point guard and is always entertaining to watch. His aggression on the court helps his team succeed according to himself.
"Me attacking first, it opens up everyone else on the court," Rose said. "
The first game I was basically on the perimeter, passing everyone the ball. Since then, I’m trying to push the ball and get to the line.”
With Rose looking to improve every game he plays, the Bulls pose a legitimate threat to any NBA team and should not be taken lightly; not with last years NBA's mvp anyway.
