Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 | Chicago Bulls, NBA, New York Knicks, Sports | No Comments
The Chicago Bulls started off the 2nd half with a dominating 118-852 win over the New York Knicks at the United Center on Tuesday night. The Bulls outscored the Knicks in each quarter and shot over 60% from the floor for the game.
More importantly, Bulls star guard Derrick Rose led the way with 29 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. He made 14 of his 18 field goals and showed little adverse affects from the bruised hip he suffered in the final game before the All-Star Break. Head Coach Vinny Del Negro took no chances with the Bulls leading by so much – he limited Rose to just 27 minutes during the contest.
Luol Deng chipped in 18 points, Taj Gibson grabbed 10 boards, while Kirk Hinrich scored 14 points with 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
The Bulls got back to .500 with the win. The Bulls are in a 3-way tie for the 6-7-8 seeds in the Eastern Conference with the Charlotte Bobcats and the Miami Heat. The Bulls battle the Knicks in the home-and-home series at Madison Square Garden in New York City tonight.

Lindsey Vonn captured the Gold Medal in the women’s Alpine Downhill race in Vancouver today. Dealing with a painful bruised shin suffered during Olympics training, it was a huge win for Vonn. “This is everything I’ve wanted and hoped for” said a thrilled Vonn after the race results posted. Fellow American Julia Mancuso took a surprise Silver Medal in the competitive field. It was the 3rd time that 2 Americans have finished in 1st and 2nd place in an Olympic Alpin skiing event, but the first time since the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo.
Vonn had also been dealing with criticism for her “risque” cover pose on Sports Illustrated Olympics Preview issue and for appearing in SI’s Swimsuit Issue. She put all of her critics to rest with a stellar performance on the slopes today. Congrats Lindsey!
