Derrick Rose had Jeff Teague all sized up. We all know the aw-shucks attitude is for off the court. He's a predator between the lines.So with the game there for the taking, Rose went to work. It was a sight to see.Two between-the-leg crossovers, a hesitation dribble to freeze the point guard, and then an explosion to the hole. marc jacobsAfter he picked up the dribble, Rose carried the basketball -- though it wasn't a carry -- coasting toward the rim where Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith lay in wait. Smith had already blocked Rose at the rim twice in the quarter, but this time Rose timed his shot perfectly, a teardrop high over Smith's extended hand. It kissed in off the glass.The basket gave the Bulls a one-point lead with 9.9 seconds left.It wasn't the winning points. Al Horford tied the game with a free throw on the other end, necessitating another winning play -- a fabulous Joakim Noah backdoor pass to Luol Deng a few seconds later on a set play. But still, to watch Rose move so economically and so decisively is a welcome sight."That's the beauty with Derrick," Noah said. "He just keeps attacking." The way Rose sees it, he's just getting warmed up. This was only his second home game of the season and the sixth overall. marc jacobs bagsThe Bulls are 5-1, but far from a polished product."I'm still getting back into my rhythm of driving," Rose said. "Just trying to get fouled, and it's coming back to me slowly. But the more I'm playing games like this and the more I play, it's definitely coming back."That's bad news for the rest of the league.Rose scored 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter as the Bulls erased a 19-point third-quarter deficit to beat Atlanta 76-74 before a star-studded crowd at the United Center. Besides teen heartthrob David Axelrod, there was that other teen heartthrob Chad Michael Murray, "Da Mare" Rahm Emanuel, and Chicago Bears Julius Peppers and Matt Forte.The fans, bold-faced and otherwise, were treated to three pretty lousy quarters of basketball, which is not exactly abnormal in the NBA, truncated season or not. The Bulls shot just 33.8 percent for the game, with a 2-for-21 second quarter. Atlanta led 38-26 at the half, and the game was every bit as ugly as that score indicates. Rose, with his eyes fixed on making the NBA Finals, had reason to be upset with his team's effort, at least offensively. There was a lot of bad ballhandling, awkward passes. Thibodeau said the Bulls were playing backward for much of the game, passing when they should be shooting, shooting when they should be passing. That happens in the NBA.marc jacobs bags cheapThere are bad nights for every team. But as Rose said, this win says something about the makeup of the team. Even with their shots not falling, the Bulls' defense stayed mostly on point, a few lapses notwithstanding.Rose did his job on Teague, who went 2-for-8 and missed three free throws. Atlanta shooting guard "Iso Joe" Johnson went 3-for-17. It's unfair to put all the responsibility on Rose -- the last play went to Deng after all -- but it's clear he's not taking a night off this season."I was saying something the game, the whole entire game, cursing, saying everything," he said. "But we got things together at the right time."
