Deng and Rose helps Bulls defeat perfect Pacers to give them their first loss.

The Pacers came into this game having 9 straight wins going for their 10th to start 10-0. Chicago had won three games in a row. Last night was one of those nights that the Pacers just didn't show up. The Bulls jumped out to early leads and never looked back. I was seeing small forward Luol Deng play aggressive. I was impressed with his play. Speaking of Deng, he scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 110-94 win over the Indiana Pacers. Derrick Rose was playing respectable with 20 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. D-Rose the six foot three point guard out of Memphis, hit six three pointers to help the Bulls cause. Taj Gibson played great off the bench with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Carlos Boozer added 13 points and 6 rebounds. Kirk Hinrich added 13 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds off the bench. I seen great defensive by the Bulls. I think Deng needs to play with toughness every night. I find that sometimes he just doesn't show up. For the Indiana Pacers Georgetown drafted seven foot two center Roy Hibbert, he lead with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. David West scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Chris Copeland added 13 off the bench. Copeland hit three out of four from downtown. Possible MVP candidate Paul George added 12 points, while shooting a terrible 3 of 14 from the field. Lance Stephenson added 12 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. The Pacers just had a bad night. It happens once in a while. I do believe though that the Pacers have a great shot at getting to the NBA Finals this year. I believe they could even win the title. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
