Home Opening Blast

Coming off a blowout victory in LA, the Bulls continued their attack for their home opener against the Grizzlies. They took care of business as they destroyed Memphis 104-64. Rose, Deng, Boozer and Brewer all had big games. Hamilton was out with a groin injury, but 11/12 players scored. Scalabrine was the only one who didn't make a shot, but he did get an assist and block for his 5 min. The offense was typical of a Bulls win, but it was the defense that defined the blowout. The Bulls outrebounded their opponent 55-40 and had 12 locked shots. They kept Memphs to 30% shooting. This one was pretty much over in the 1st and would have been a pretty boring game if it was in the middle of the season, but to open at home like this really got the fans into it. These are the best fan in the world, who have been deprived of basketball for 2 months. There was no better way to start the year and season!
