With Derrick Rose slowed by an elbow impediment, Chicago Bulls playmaking duties fell to their skilled big men on Thursday night.
Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic ran this first-quarter give-and-go to perfection, thanks mostly to Gasol's uncanny anticipation. The 7-footer - who leads all centers in assists this season - whipped a no-look pass over his head, which somehow hit Mirotic in stride for an easy layup.
