Pacers-Bulls Preview

The Chicago Bulls are playing their best basketball of 2010-11 due in large part to Derrick Rose's efforts from beyond the 3-point arc.

Trying to extend their longest winning streak of the season, the Bulls look for another home victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.

Chicago, winner of eight of the last nine meetings with the Pacers at the United Center, defeated Minnesota 113-82 on Saturday for its fifth consecutive victory.

Rose led the way by making a career-best five 3-pointers. The third-year guard, who shot 24.2 percent from 3-point range in his first two seasons, is shooting 41.6 percent on 3s this season and 64.0 percent (16 of 25) during the win streak.

"I'm trying to show everybody what I'm working on," said Rose, who finished with 21 points on 8 of 10 from the field. "You want to show opponents new things so when they're going to play you, they know it's going to be a hard night."

Rose has averaged 24.6 points and 55.4 percent shooting in his last five games against Indiana.

Carlos Boozer scored 17 points versus the Timberwolves and has averaged 14.6 in seven games since returning from a broken hand. The two-time All-Star, however, averaged 28.5 points and 12.0 rebounds in his last two matchups with the Pacers while with Utah.

The Bulls avoided a letdown against the lowly Timberwolves one night after defeating the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 88-84. Chicago is scoring 103.4 points at home compared to 96.7 on the road.

"We want to have the right habits and be ready for any opponent," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "You want to be consistent in your approach whether (you're playing) a defending champion or a rebuilding team."

The Bulls (14-8) last won six in a row during a seven-game run Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 2006. They're six games over .500 for the first time since that season, when they went 49-33.

Chicago has held its last four opponents to 84.8 points a game, and faces a Pacers club coming off its second-lowest scoring output of the season.

Indiana (11-11) fell 97-83 to Atlanta on Saturday, its season-worst fourth consecutive road loss.

The Pacers, among the league's highest-scoring first-half teams at 52.6 points, managed 35 before the break and trailed by 13 after 24 minutes.

"It's a credit to their defense," coach Jim O'Brien said. "They really defended us well."

Danny Granger, who leads Indiana with 21.1 points per contest, was held to 14 on 3-of-14 shooting and went 0 for 5 from 3-point range.

Granger could bounce back against the Bulls, though, as he has averaged 28.0 points - 10.1 above his career average - in his last five games against them.

Brandon Rush scored 14 off the bench against the Hawks and has made 13 of 23 from 3-point range in his last four contests.

Indiana had lost three straight to Chicago before winning 100-90 on Feb. 27.

Boozer leads Bulls over Pacers

Posted Dec 14 2010 12:01AM

CHICAGO (AP) The Chicago Bulls are starting to look like a team that is putting it all together. For an instant on Monday night, a nasty fall by their star point guard brought out thoughts that their season could fall apart.

Derrick Rose had 17 points and 12 assists and ignited a 10-0 run midway through the fourth quarter that broke open a close game and led the Bulls to a 92-73 victory over the Indiana Pacers for their first six-game winning streak since Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 2006.

The Bulls were pulling away when Rose gave the sellout crowd at the United Center a scare with 1:56 to go in the game.

With the crowd chanting "MVP! MVP!" as has been the custom of late, Rose drove into the lane and went up for a layup.

Indiana's Brandon Rush moved under him and Rose went to the court hard, his legs flying out behind him, using his hands to break his fall. Rose sounded less than thrilled about Rush's move on the play.

When asked if he learned anything from the spill, Rose said, "He slid in my way. If anything, next time I'll be careful and learn from my mistakes. Especially with that team.

"Mind over matter," Rose said. "You want to go out there and play through it."

Rose rolled on the court for several minutes, holding his right wrist. After a timeout, he returned and made one of two free throws, putting Chicago ahead 85-71.

He said the play scared him.

"I thought it was going to be worse than it was," Rose said.

Rose was able to finish the game, but said the wrist was hurting. He hurt his ankle earlier in the game and looked a battle-worn after it.

When reporters were allowed into the Bulls' locker room, Rose was hunched in front of his locker, ice wrapped around his wrist with a large bandage and his feet submerged in a tub of ice.

"It's basketball," Rose said. "Sometimes the game is going to get physical and you have to play through it."

X-rays on Rose's wrist were negative. He's listed as questionable for Chicago's game Wednesday at Toronto, which might be a good thing, as he said his left ankle was also an issue.

"It's sore, too," Rose said. "My whole body is sore right now."

Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 18 rebounds to lead Chicago.

"I thought (Boozer's) reaction to the ball was really good tonight," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "You can really see his timing coming back.

"I thought we came out ready to play," he said. "They played well. Down (injured Pacers forward Danny) Granger, they really competed."

Rush and T.J. Ford both had 13 points for Indiana.

"It's tough," Ford said. "You get off to a slow start like we did and you put yourself in a hole. We played pretty hard. It just took too much energy when it got down to winning time down the stretch."

Granger missed the game with a sprained left ankle. He was injured in a loss at Atlanta on Saturday. Granger leads the Pacers with a 21.1 scoring average.

The 73 points was a season-low for Indiana and it was the third straight game Chicago held its opponent to a season-worst total.

The Bulls held the los Angeles Lakers to 84 points on Friday and the Minnesota Timberwolves to 82 points on Saturday.

"They're a really good defensive team," Indiana guard Mike Dunleavy said. "(They're) well coached. We already knew that coming in. But we didn't help the situation by missing a lot of open 3's in the second half."

Boozer said the Bulls are "trying to get better every day. We don't look where we are, we look where we're trying to go."

The Bulls led 74-69 when Rose returned with 6:01 to play. He scored four points and handed out two assists, both to Boozer, extending the lead to 84-69.

The Pacers never threatened again.

Rose was called for a technical foul in the second quarter, the first in his two-plus seasons in the NBA.

Boozer, who missed Chicago's first 15 games with a broken bone in his shooting hand, was defended for much of the game by 7-foot Indiana center Roy Hibbert.

Boozer simply drew the bigger player out onto the perimeter and shot over him.

"They run that pick-and-roll and find a way to get an open shot," Rush said. "They had us on the run all night."

After getting outrebounded in the first half, the Bulls controlled the boards with a 29-14 advantage after halftime when the Pacers held a 15-2 edge in second-chance points.

Not surprisingly, that was Thibodeau's point of emphasis in his halftime comments.

"Plain and simple, Coach Thibs just said they kicked our butt on the boards in the second quarter," Boozer said. "I don't know what it was. Usually, we're a dominant rebounding team."

After a back-and-forth start to the third period, the Bulls got the crowd going a little bit with about three minutes left in the quarter.

Noah out-battled Hibbert for an offensive rebound and skipped a pass to an open Luol Deng at the 3-point line. Deng nailed the open shot, giving the Bulls a 59-50 lead.

Chicago was ahead 65-58 after three quarters, led by Boozer's 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Early, it looked like the Bulls were going to enjoy their second straight laugher. Chicago beat Minnesota 113-82 at the United Center on Saturday in game that was never close.

Four Bulls starters scored in the first 2 1/2 minutes as Chicago jumped to 14-2 lead and the other, Keith Bogans, had two steals. The Bulls eventually pushed the lead to 20-4.

The Pacers chipped away at the lead, then finally went ahead on Josh McRoberts' putback slam of a miss by Rush miss, putting Indiana up 34-33 with 5:16 to go in the half. The Bulls led 43-41 at halftime.

Pacers-Bulls notebook

By Kent McDill, for NBA.com
Posted Monday December 13, 2010 11:15PM

THE FACTS: The Bulls let a 19-point first-quarter lead slip away, but got serious again in the fourth quarter to take a 92-73 victory over the Indiana Pacers for their sixth win in a row. Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. Derrick Rose had 19 points and 12 assists but got hurt twice in the fourth quarter. Mike Dunleavy started in place of injured Pacers forward Danny Granger (ankle) and scored 12 points.

THE FACTS II: Rose rolled his ankle midway through the fourth quarter, requiring the Bulls to take a timeout. He came back in and led the Bulls on an 11-0 run before injuring his wrist on the fall after jumping over Indiana guard Brandon Rush on a drive to the basket.

QUOTABLE: "Basketball is physical and you have to play through it. My whole body hurts -- elbow, wrist, hip, shin, shoulder. I know tomorrow is going to be a bad day."
- Rose talking about his two fourth-quarter injuries

THE STAT: The Bulls entered the game ranked 27th in the league in free throw shooting and missed six of their first eight free throws Monday. They finished 10 for 20 from the line.

TURNING POINT: With 5:34 left in the game and the Bulls up by seven points, Derrick Rose severely twisted his right ankle and the Bulls called timeout. But Rose reentered the game, scored twice and helped the Bulls complete an 11-0 run that gave them an 84-69 lead with 2:58 left.

THE MOMENT: With 4:53 left in the second quarter, Derrick Rose of the Bulls dribbled inside and put up a shot that was blocked. Rose, who has become frustrated at not getting calls as frequently as other superstars, said something that earned him a technical foul. "The way I looked at it, it had to be a charge or a block. I made contact, he fell. (I don't know) how that is a no-call," Rose said.

HOT: Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 18 rebounds, marking his third game out of last six in which he has earned a double-double.

NOT: Indiana center Roy Hibbert, who had his season-low with six points against Atlanta Saturday, matched that total against the Bulls, making just two of seven shots from the field. HE also contributed just three rebounds in 20 minutes.

QUOTABLE II: "You know what he says when somebody falls like that? Mind over matter. He throws his body around like no point guard I have ever seen ever. It's scary."
- Bulls center Joakim Noah talking about teammate Derrick Rose

NOTABLE: The Pacers bench, which got them back into the game after falling behind by 19 points early, outscored the Bulls bench 27-23, led by T.J. Ford's 13 points.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Wednesday at Toronto, Saturday vs. Clippers, Tuesday vs. Philadelphia. For the Pacers, Vs. Lakers Wednesday, vs. Cleveland Friday, @ Boston Sunday.
