Rose shines in clutch time as Bulls knock down Bucks.
MILWAUKEE -- The score was tied and it was just one possession game. Derrick Rose had the ball, he was having a bad outside shooting night. Brandon Jennings was all over him. The anticipated move was a drive to the rim but what Rose did, was amazing. He faked like he was going to drive to the basket again, creating a little space between him and Brandon Jennings. Then he slid to his left in a split second, and launched a winning shot at the buzzer. The arena was filled with Bulls fans -- even when they weren't playing at home. Rose's off-balance 2-point shot was the final additon to his 30-point night that helped the Bulls to a 106-104 victory over the Bucks on Wednesday.
Rose said after the game.
"It was like a kid, all the things that you dream about," he continued "It felt good. You're on the road, going against a team that's giving you their all and
you hit a nice shot like that." His teammates mobbed him near the halfcourt as a pro-Bulls crowd roared in approval, with echoing chants of "M-V-P!"
Joakim Noah scored double double with 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who have won their eight straight.
Ersan Ilyasova had a career-
high 32 points and Drew
Gooden added a season-high 27 for the Bucks.
