A night after a double-overtime loss to the lowly, Kobe Bryant-less Los Angeles Lakers, the Chicago Bulls got pounded by the Phoenix Suns in the first half of Friday's game.
At least former All-Star Derrick Rose and first-time All-Star Jimmy Butler gave Bulls fans something to be excited about.
The Bulls, who have been playing mediocre ball during the new year, had better pick it up soon with the Cleveland Cavaliers - winners of nine straight - coming on strong.
