Bulls hang on for win
Rose's complete game beats Thunder

Bulls 76 Thunder 70


Rose paced the Bulls with 26 points, 9 boards and 7 assists.

Coach Tom Thibodeau was very pleased after Thursday night's tilt between the Bulls and Thunder. They held one of the best offensive teams in the league to just 70 points. "Defense clicked tonight. We contested every shot and did a much better job of boxing out. We won the battle on the boards tonight." said Thibodeau. Bulls have struggled on the glass to start the year but out rebounded the Thunder 43-32. Center Joakim Noah was the main contributor with 14 rebounds.

Derrick Rose once again put on a MVP type performance. Rose had an all around game with 26 points, 9 boards, and 7 assists. "When we play defense and rebound like we did tonight its much easier. I'm able to run the floor and make plays." said Rose.

Chicago did not get much from Carlos Boozer. Boozer had a rough night. He failed to record a field goal going 0-9. Once again though the 'bench mobb' came through for Boozer. Taj Gibson and Omer Asik shared minutes to spark the team. Taj Gibson was asked about his role after the game, "Its a team game and we all have one goal on this team. So when my name is called, I jump up and do my part." This is the attitude that keeps these Bulls running.
