Pau Gasol achieves a double-double: Jimmy Butler adds 21: D-Rose scores 20

The Chicago Bulls are an exciting team in the NBA. I enjoyed the acquisition of Pau Gasol, the improvement on offense from Jimmy Butler, and instead of resigning D.J. Augustin, they go and get Aaron Brooks who I've always felt was underrated.   Today the Chicago Bulls took on the Kobe Bryant-Less Los Angeles Lakers.  The Chicago Bulls defeated the L.A. Lakers 113093.  Pau Gasol lead the way for the Bulls with a double-double by scoring 23 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. Offensive improved wing player Jimmy Butler scored 21 points and 6 rebounds. Superstar athletic point guard Derrick Rose added 20 points and 6 assists.   I feel that this year the Bulls made solid enough moves to take a huge amount of pressure off of point guard Derrick Rose. Here are the stats for each team.
