Player of the Game: Derrick Rose
Reason: He is the fastest player on the planet. Nobody on Indiana can guard him. The Bulls ran strictly clear outs and let Rose go to the basket as hard as he can. I’ve never seen anyone get to the rim as fast as Rose does. He goes right around guys trying to take a charge. His penetration got him 21 free throws and he made 19. That was the deciding factor, especially late in the game.
Most surprising Fact:
Larry Bird’s army of white guys was better than Chicago through 3.5 quarters. Danny Granger and Tyler Hansbrough were making shots all over the court and kept the crowd out of the game most of the way. Then, Derrick Rose decided enough was enough and won the game. It’ll be interesting to see if Indiana responds with another great effort, or if they fold after blowing a ten point lead with under four minutes left.
Favorite moments:
- Kurt Thomas gave Tyler Hansbrough the peoples elbow and almost knocked him unconscious. I love players like Kurt; quiet guys who hurt people.
- Tyler Hansbrough totally dominated Carlos Boozer.
- Luol Deng firing up the Bulls crowd after he got a technical was great to see.
