Bulls-Kings Preview

The Chicago Bulls nearly managed a win without their leading scorer but are hoping to have him back against the Sacramento Kings.

Derrick Rose, who is averaging a team-best 26.3 points, is expected to return as the Bulls try to finish their annual circus trip above .500 for the first time since 1997-98 when they face the Kings on Saturday night.

Chicago (8-6) battled back from a 19-point third-quarter deficit but fell to Denver 98-97 in dramatic fashion as Carmelo Anthony connected on a 23-foot buzzer-beating jump shot.

Rose, who missed the game with a stiff neck after apparently sleeping it wrong the night before, averaged 30.6 points through Chicago's first five contests on the seven-game road swing. His absence was missed, particularly late.

John Lucas III, who was signed Friday to take Rose's spot on the roster, missed two free throws with 12.9 seconds to go in the game which would have put the Bulls up three.

Rose has been held to an average of 13.5 points in four career games versus Sacramento.

C.J. Watson stepped up with Rose on the sidelines, scoring a season-high 33 in his first start of the season. Watson could be in line for another big game against the Kings, against whom he scored a career-high 40 last season while with Golden State.

"This team, Chicago, the thing right now, I think they're probably the hardest playing team in the league," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "Play hard makes good things happen. Play hard can pick your team up when you have your best player not playing and almost win a game."

Noah scored 17 points and grabbed 16 rebounds versus the Nuggets for his fifth straight double-double. He is averaging 8.3 points over his career but has scored in double figures every game this season.

The Bulls have gone 1-5 without Rose in the lineup since drafting him first overall in 2008.

Sacramento is coming off a 100-82 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night, its ninth loss in 10 games after a 3-1 start.

The Kings (4-10) are averaging 89.1 points over that span, due in large part to the recent struggles of last season's rookie of the year Tyreke Evans.

Evans, who leads the team with 17.5 points per game, is averaging 9.3 while connecting on 24.3 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last three contests.

Evans missed his first eight shots and finished with eight points on 2-of-13 shooting in Thursday night's defeat, leaving coach Paul Westphal at a loss for answers.

"Tyreke is not used to this prolonged period of lack of production, and I'm sure that it bothers him," Westphal said. "He's too good of a player to shoot 2 for 13 from the field. We know that he's had ankle problems, but he says that he's OK. He's just not finishing plays and he's not making the decisions that he needs to make."

The No. 4 overall pick from last year's draft averaged 21.5 points in two games against the Bulls.

Sacramento had won nine consecutive games over the Bulls at home before losing the previous two meetings.

Rose scores 30 to help Bulls best Kings

Posted Nov 28 2010 1:53AM

SACRAMENTO, Calif.(AP) Derrick Rose's neck still hurt him. Not that it was apparent on the court.

Rose had 30 points, seven assists and seven rebounds for the Chicago Bulls, who rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Sacramento Kings 96-85 Saturday night.

The Bulls trailed by 13 at halftime, but held the Kings to 28 second-half points, outscoring them 27-9 in the fourth.

"Derrick is great, I think he's the best point guard in the league right now," said Luol Deng said. "He can carry us a lot. He makes all of us better players."

Rose had a neck injury that forced him to sit out Friday's game in Denver, a one-point loss.

Deng had 22 points and nine rebounds,and Joakim Noah had 17 points and eight rebounds for the Bulls, who concluded their seven-game road trip that started Nov. 16 with a victory in Houston.

Jason Thompson had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Kings, who have lost four straight and 10 of 11. Tyreke Evans had 17 points and nine assists for the Kings.

Rose made consecutive baskets on two dazzling drives to the basket and put Chicago ahead 87-83. Noah followed with two free throws and a fastbreak layup for a 91-83 lead with 2:41 remaining.

The Bulls scored the first nine points of the fourth quarter to take a 78-76 lead, but the Kings answered with Greene's 3-pointer at the 7:40 mark.

"I thought that in the second half our defense was good enough for us to win the game, but our offense was something that was out of some horror book," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "Two turnovers in the first half and 16 in the second half, it's just unbelievable. Running the same plays, only not executing them."

Sacramento wound up wasting the first halftime lead it had this season. The Kings led 57-44 at the break and were up 76-69 after three.

"We can't keep getting in holes like that, the good teams won't let you come back like that," Rose said.

NOTES: Out with a broken hand all season, Bulls expensive free agent pickup Carlos Boozer is expected to practice for the first time on Monday. ... Dalembert missed his first shot of the game, his 16th miss in 17 attempts over a six-game stretch. He made his next six shots. ... Kings veteran Francisco Garcia missed his second straight game with the flu.

THE FACTS: Derrick Rose scored 30 points as the Chicago Bulls came back in a 96-85 road victory against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night. The Bulls trailed by as many as 16 points before tightening up defensively late in the game, holding Sacramento to just nine points in the fourth quarter.

QUOTABLE: "We definitely have the identity of our coach. I think he is probably the hungriest guy I've ever been around in terms of coaching. Ever since the summer, the guy is in the gym all day. ... He is hungry, he wants to win so bad."
-- Bulls forward Joakim Noah on head coach Tom Thibodeau

THE STAT: The Bulls defensive pressure certainly notched up in the second half. The Kings turned the ball over just two times in the first half and scored 57 points. But Chicago forced six second-half turnovers and limited the Kings to just 31.6 percent in the fourth quarter.

TURNING POINT: Sacramento scored just an average of 89.9 points per game in the last 10 games, nine of which they lost. Early on Saturday night though, the Kings offense looked crisp. But as Sacramento's lead whittled down midway through the third quarter, so did the number of good looks allowed by Chicago's defense.

Sacramento's offensive sets grew tight, failing to earn those shots in transition that had come earlier in the game. Baskets in the paint slowed and became contested jumpers with an expiring shot clock. Chicago's defense led the team's come-from-behind win.

HOT: Rose shot 10-for-23 on the night for his game-high 30 points, and also added seven assists and seven rebounds. Rose's status for the game was questionable before tip off, as he was still ailing from a stiff neck that kept him out of Friday's loss at Denver. Prior to the game he said, "I'm going to go test it out now, shoot for a little bit and see how it is. If it is hurting, I'll take a pill and still go out there and play." He didn't seem too affected by his neck, playing 42 minutes and flying down the court with his usual, blaring speed.

NOT: Early on, it looked as if Kings guard Tyreke Evans was coming out of his slump. The reigning Rookie of the Year was averaging just 9.3 points per game in his last three games entering Saturday night. Evans got off to a hot start with 13 points and six assists in the first half. But when Chicago's defense rose up, Evans game was quieted. Evans scored just four points in the second half.

INSIDE THE ARENA: A fan came down from the second deck for a half-court shot contest just before the fourth quarter. The contestant, a season-ticket holder, took his time pandering to the crowd with a half court routine before banking in a heave to win a car.

ROOKIE WATCH: Sacramento's rookie big man, DeMarcus Cousins, scored six points and grabbed five rebounds, but played just 15 minutes and totaled five fouls.

NOTABLE: The Kings led at halftime for the first time this season. Sacramento led 57-44 over Chicago, clicking early in transition and shooting 50 percent (4-for-8) from behind the 3-point arc. Evans had 13 points, six assists and three rebounds at the half.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Wednesday vs. Orlando, Friday at Boston, Saturday vs. Houston. For the Kings, Tuesday vs. Indiana, Friday at Lakers, Saturday vs. Dallas.
