CHI 82, NYK 81: Rose's last second shot wins it for Chicago
The Chicago Bulls had missed their last nine shots from the field until Derrick Rose's floater over New York Knicks forward Tyson Chandler dropped with 5.7 seconds remaining, giving the Bulls a 82-81 win.
Here's what you need to know:
- Chicago led by as much as 13 points in the second half, but only managed 11 points in the fourth quarter. The Bulls offense closed the game going 7:30 without a field goal until the Rose shot, almost letting an ugly one slip away in the final seconds.
- Rose's final shot heroics disguises another ugly night from the field. The point guard finished with 18 points but was 7-of-23 from the field, bringing his two game total to 11-of-38 for 28.9 percent.
- Both team's suffered from miserable shooting and had trouble taking care of the ball as illustrated by the table below.
| TEAM | FG% | 3PT% | TO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago | 40.8% | 18.8% | 18 |
| New York | 36% | 37.5% | 15 |
- Carmelo Anthony led all scorers with 22 points on 8-of-24 shooting. He chipped in six assists, six rebounds and six steals on Halloween. Spooky.
- Four Bulls scored in double digits with Rose's 18 points leading the way followed by Luol Deng's 17 points and six assists. Joakim Noah had four points but had a big night on the boards with a game high 15 rebounds.
Happy Halloween from Chicago.
