Bulls' Rose confident after beating Wizards
Following the Chicago Bulls' 99-91 victory over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was more than happy to dispel rumors of his ill health.
Rose with 25: "I know where I’m going to be in a couple of months; you all are the ones that will be surprised the way I’m going to play."

Rose scored 25 points in 29 minutes Tuesday, including 10 of the Bulls' 29 points in the fourth quarter.
It marked the second consecutive game in which Rose scored in double digits in the fourth quarter, as he scored 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting Monday against the Toronto Raptors.
Slowly, but surely, Rose is starting to regain his former All-Star form as his health steadily improves. Over his last six games, Rose is averaging 22.7 points and 4.5 assists in just 29 minutes per game.
