The Chicago Bulls' Luol Deng finished second to Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors, in the voting for the NBA's Sportsmanship Award, the league announced on Thursday.
The Chicago Bulls ended the regular season with 62 wins, the top seed in the Eastern Conference and the best record in the NBA. But they haven't looked like that same team through their first seven playoff games.
If you're going to be called an "energy player," it means three things about you are true.
It definitely wasn't a Picasso but a win is a win and the Bulls have evened up their series with Atlanta at one game a piece. The final in game 2 was the Bulls 86 and the Hawks 73
NBA Commissioner David Stern was on hand for Game 2 of the Bulls-Hawks series to present Derrick Rose his MVP trophy in front of the Chicago crowd.
Once again the Chicago Bulls struggled with a lesser seeded opponent. This time it was Atlanta Hawks, who came into the United Center and took Game 1 of the series.
Sunday was a long day at the Berto Center as it started and ended with news that Tom Thibodeau was named the NBA's Coach Of The Year.
Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls were tested in the first round by the Indiana Pacers, and they passed. Now Rose and Chicago is gearing up for their next test.
There were many questions heading into latest version of the biggest day in Chicago sports.
When asked what it was like to win his 1st playoff series Derrick Rose said he was "speechless"
The Bulls last night showed everyone why they had the best regular-season record in the NBA, as they dispatched the pesky Indiana Pacers in a dominating Game Five.
Derrick Rose is the most valuable player on the Chicago Bulls, and the entire NBA, this season. The Bulls fans know this. The entire league knows this. The entire world knows this.
For the fourth game in a row the Chicago Bulls struggled with the Indiana Pacers and mounted a fourth quarter comeback.
I wish I could have just sat down at the computer today, typed in my thoughts about the Bulls 88-84 win over the Pacers in Game 3 of their opening round matchup and called it a day.
Stacey King called for retaliation. Pacers hoodlum Jeff Foster had just knocked Derrick Rose to the floor, inciting another heated exchange of words between the teams, and King had some words of his own.
It more resembled Rugby then Basketball but either way the Bulls came out on top and are now one win away from a sweep. The final in game 3 Thursday night here in Indianapolis was Bulls 88 and Pacers 84.
Just like a broken record, the Chicago Bulls struggled with the Indiana Pacers for most of the game, but pulled away down the stretch and won.
In his first year as an NBA head coach, Tom Thibodeau led the Chicago Bulls to a league-best 62 wins and the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
After two come-from-behind wins, the Chicago Bulls travel to Indianapolis to try and go up three games to none on the Pacers.
One year ago today I reported on the Blackhawks playoff game (they won) in Nashville, and tonight I will be reporting on the Bulls playoff game in Indianapolis.
The Chicago Bulls entered the NBA Playoffs with the best record in the league, and were 21-3 over the last two months of the regular season.
It's pretty amazing that the Indiana Pacers have led a major majority of the opening two games yet trail in the series 2-Zip.
For the second straight game, the Chicago Bulls struggled with the eight seed Indiana Pacers.
During game one of the Bulls first round matchup against the Pacers on Saturday, I was a little uneasy with the way things were playing out in Chicago's 104-99 win.
Game one may not have gone the exact way that the Chicago Bulls wanted, but they got a win and that's all that really matters in the playoffs.
