Bulls win. -Great game for the Bulls. Rose is really becoming a great floor general. He's balanced his game out real well on the offensive side of the ball, knowing when to pass and when to take over. -Korver was huge for us tonight. -Deng played a great first half -Gibson played great D. He needs to be more consistent on O though
I don't think there was really much to take away from tonight except that a win is a win. Rose had a pretty bad game in terms of turnovers and shooting. I'm glad to see Korver is still hot, and I'll happily rejoin the Bogans bandwagon if he keeps defending and shooting like he is now. Taj played aggressive on both ends and Boozer just did his thing, which is apparently enough to eek out a win.
During Bogans time in Q3, Charlotte went from down 8 to take the lead (and won the quarter 28-26, too).
Eh, I'm not blaming it on Bogans. He played driven defense tonight in a way that he wasn't when his shooting was slumping. If continues to hit open threes and pressure the ball like he did tonight, I can live with that. Now he just has to do it consistently.
Defense? Who'd he stop: Jackson 20 pts, Livingston 13, Henderson 22. Anyhow, a win is a win and this one was a sweet one.
