Closing in on the Spurs!

This was another great weekend for the Bulls. While they took care of business on Friday with a 101-96 victory over the Pistons, the Celtics lost their game. This was a typical Bulls win where Rose, Deng and Boozer provided the bulk of the scoring and all 10 players who saw minutes had at least 2 points. At halftime, the Pistons honored Dennis Rodman in a ceremony to retire his number. It was a well-timed event as he played and won championships for both franchises. Dennis Rodman was one of the greatest defenders and the #1 rebounder in NBA history. There's yet to be a successor and no one in the game today comes close. The event lasted over 40 minutes. The break seemed to affect the Bulls in the 3rd quarter as they let Detroit back into the game. But the poised Bulls were great in the 4th quarter as usual. With the Pistons misusing Ben Gordon, the Bulls easily had the win despite the close score.

Last night's game took care of business against the Raptors in a 113-106 victory that featured yet another offensive outburst by Derrick Rose, who is now a lock for MVP. He even has LeBron James' vote at this point! Rose scored a game high 36. 9 of 10 players scored, 5 with double figures. Rose's stat sheet for the night was insane...
- 36 points (game high)
- 3 rebounds
- 10 assists (game high)
- 1 steal
- 3 blocks (game high)

The Bulls are now 3 games ahead of Miami, 3.5 ahead of Boston and just 1 game back from the Spurs for the bet record in the NBA!
