Toronto away

One of the Bulls best efforts this year, particularly because Drew Gooden was out. We won because we moved the ball well, racking up 33 assists. A big reason for this is because Hinrich played 33 minutes and Larry Hughes played 0 minutes. He's just a huge upgrade over Larry and it helps the Bulls tremendously, both on offense and defense.

Another factor in the win was Deng showing a bit more restraint with his bad jumper and going to the hole more. He still has a long way to go, but this was his best effort of the year. The final factor was Derrick taking over during crunch time and pulling out the win for us. There's no doubt now that he is option number one on offense going into the home stretch. Overall, Rose had a great game, putting him back in ROY spotlight.

Defensively, we were up and down. Bargnani just killed us and Bosh wasn't far behind. However, we stopped them at the end, where even Noah came up with a block. A big win.
