NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Derrick Rose led the Bulls over the Celtics in a first round road playoff victory.
Chicago 108 Boston 95
Derrick had a great year as the leading rookie in the NBA (my opinion), but he saved his very best for this game. The Celtics are fragile playing without Kevin Garnett and the Bulls are hungry with their star rookie looking the hungriest of all.
Derrick Rose is beating Boston single handedly
Rose followed up his 11 assists with a season high 36 points.
If USA Basketball kingpin Jerry Colangelo has any doubts about the availability of Chris Paul or Deron Williams for 2012 in London, this game should put to rest any anxieties he might have concerning potential point guards.
To put Rose’s game in perspective, his season best was 27 points. He had never made more than eight free throws in any game. He matched his season high for field goals (12, in 21 attempts). No one in NBA history has scored more points in his playoff debut and only one, Lew Alcindor, scored as many.
