D Rose – Watch Out for Howard!
Back in February just before the All-star break the Bulls faced the Orlando Magic. In that game Derrick Rose took on Dwight Howard and came off second best. The two players collided in midair and Rose crashed to the floor injuring his hip.
Now around one month later the Bulls once again faced the Magic. Once again Rose challenged Howard and once again Derrick Rose crashed to the floor. As he got up he clutched his lower back and hand. He managed to take his free throws making one of two before ending the first quarter.
In the quarter time break Rose was checked over and it was decided he would sit out the rest of the game due to a wrist injury.
Without Rose on the team it was just too much for the Bulls to match it with the Magic. Even with Rose in the team the slumping Bulls were going to do it tough. The Bulls have been hit hard by injury and after not long ago being in the number five spot on the Eastern Conference, they now find themselves losing touch with the top eight.
The Bulls have a tough run home with the majority of their games against teams with winning records.
Against the Magic the Bulls went down 111-82. By the half-time break the Magic led by more than 30 points. The Bulls started the third period with good energy but a late run by the Magic snuffed out any thoughts of a comeback.
