Bulls Vs. Clippers: Derrick Rose Deflates Lob City, 114-101

The Chicago Bulls had managed to stay one step ahead of the much-hyped Los Angeles Clippers through the first three quarters on Friday night, but hadn’t quite built a substantial lead. Instead, Chicago kept grinding away, outscoring Los Angeles in each quarter to take a six-point lead into the final frame. The matchup seemed like it was destined for some sort of close finish.

Derrick Rose, however, had other ideas. Rose hit another gear in the fourth quarter, taking over the game as the Bulls built up their lead and put it out of reach. Rose was everywhere, creating his own shots, dishing to his teammates and getting to the line as the Bulls pushed their advantage to double-digits. And that’s where it ended as Chicago pulled away in the final frame for a 114-101 win over the Lob City Clippers, dropping Chris Paul’s new team to 1-2 on the season.
