Bulls - Knicks: Of course, Derrick Rose looked forward playing against Jeremy Lin
After a first half where the Knicks defense moved their feet to prevent the Bulls' usage of space, where Rose shot only 5-for-15 to score 13 points with only two assists, Rose scored 19 on 14 shots in the second half and added five more assists. Rose got notably more physical with Lin, throwing his entire body into Lin's mid-section when Lin over-anticipated a shot after getting punked by one of Rose's stepbacks.

Lin had five fouls on the night, putting him in a position to matador Rose on a fastbreak layup in the fourth quarter to avoid getting fouled out. Rose threw his body at Lin numerous times when Lin wanted to get into space, slowing down a potentially dangerous Knicks offense. When Lin got threw, Rose didn't hesitate to hack a couple of times when the help wasn't in place -- and Rose got his money's worth on those fouls, bringing Lin looking close to getting bleedy again.
