Derrick Rose picked the right time to get hot. So too did his Chicago Bulls teammates.
Rose scored eight of his 18 points during a 16-6 fourth-quarter spurt, a run that turned the game in the Bulls’ favor. Down 80-74 to Denver midway through the fourth quarter Monday at the United Center, Chicago rallied to win 94-92.
Chicago had to hold on at the finish as the Nuggets pulled within one on two Carmelo Anthony free throws with 11 seconds to go, then missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game.
Joakim Noah snagged a game-high 19 rebounds for the Bulls. Rose finished with six assists.
Chicago plays host to Golden State on Thursday, then welcomes in Washington on Saturday.

McGrady has expressed his interest in joining the Bulls via his Twitter page, but would have to accept a lesser role than when he was starring for the Houston Rockets and one of the highest-paid players in the NBA. McGrady would undoubtedly come off the bench, hopefully providing a spark for a team lacking depth last season. ( Read More…)
