Verizon Center,December 4

Derrick Rose wins the battle of the Point Guards,as Bulls emerge victorious from D.C.The Chicago Bulls won on a really tough match-up,with Rose-Wall's battle being on the spotlight.The two sensational Point Guards provided some great highlight plays on a low scoring match,but with a lot of thrill to the end.
It was a match when Chicago had the control on the whole game, and it seemed that they would have an easy night on the Verizon Center,but they counted out a well-known figure; Kirk Hinrich. Captain Kirk,a really loved figure on Chicago,was lights out on the last minutes,when both teams were loose and with 7 points without answer,he got the lead cut down to a tie with 1.54 remaining . Bulls' squad was clearly shocked from that situation,and found themselves in a tough situation,when their total control of the game and the big lead was vanished in just a couple of minutes. After that Derrick Rose scored a really tough basket against Gilbert Arenas,and gave the Bulls again a 2-point lead with 1.24 remaining,making the score 76-74.
With both teams struggling to score on the next minute the ball went to Arenas,with 22 seconds remaining.Arenas hold the ball too much and took a 3 pointer but he missed it ,giving the Bulls the chance to rebound the ball,and the tough win,extending their winning streak to 5 unbeaten, and taking the 1st record on the power ranking,after surpassing OKC's 9-3 record.
Rose scored 18 points and had 7 assists on a solid performance.Korver added 10 pts and 6 boards,while Deng had one less rebound.Monroe did his best game since he was traded to the Bulls,with 9 points,2 rebounds and 4-4 FG.T-Mac and and injured Boozer added 8 points,3 rebounds and 2 steals,with T-Mac having 3 assists as well. Iverson had 5 points on a mediocre game.Gibson had 4 points,Watson added 3,while Joakim Noah had only 1 point,with 7 rebounds,3 assists,1 steal and 1 block.
Javale McGee had a monsterous game for the Wizards,with 14 points and 14 rebounds ,along with 4 blocks.John Wall had 13 points,3 assists and 5 steals,but he committed 4 TOs, 3 on the last quarter.Kirk Hinrich had 12 points,2 rebounds,2 steals and 2 assists,on a really mature game,showing that he still had things to offer to the Bulls.Josh Howard added 11 points and 6 rebounds,while Gilbert Arenas and Yi Jianlian were close to double figures.Arenas had 8 points and 8 assists,while Yi had 8 points with 9 rebounds and 4 blocks.Young added 4 points,while Thabeet and Booker had 2 points.
Bulls,will now host the San Antonio Spurs on the United Center,on the 1st game of a 5-game home stand.Spurs are now standing 6th on the West,being 7-6 so far. Clearly a better opponent for the Bulls,than the Washington Wizards,but clearly they have a noticable disadvantage over Thibodeau's squad,as their playing on the United Center. Washington Wizards are 3-10 ,and clearly things aren't going well,as this affects team chemistry as well with a clear need for a reboot.They'll now host the Nuggets,and another loss is on the sight for Wall and Arenas' team.
