Pre-Season Kicks Off!

NBA is back everybody! The pre-season kicked off a couple nights and it give NBA fans a little taste of what is to come. One of the big games in the pre-season already was when the Chicago Bulls faced of against the Indiana Pacers. This showcased two teams that both have the potential to be representing the Eastern Conference in the Championship in June. The Bulls pulled out the victory 82 to 76 but the big story was all-star point guard and former MVP Derrick Rose returned to the court after missing the entire season last year due to a ACL tear. The star gave the Bulls the spark that they missed all last year and you could see that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the East. Rose had 13 points, 2 steals, 3 assists and picked up 2 rebounds. One he picked up one rebound of his own shot with showed his determination and willingness to work the entire time on the court. On top of the Bulls Scoring chart was Taj Gibson who lead the team with 18 points. The Bulls were also lead in scoring by Loul Deng who had 15 points with Jimmy Butler (shooting guard) scoring 11 points. The Pacers were led by all-star shooting guard Paul George and power forward David West who both had 14 points. The big man in the middle Roy Hibbert picked up 11 points with 9 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Making his first start from last year’s injury was small forward Danny Granger who the Pacers hope will help put points on the board. Granger had a relatively quiet night only scoring 6 points with 0 rebounds. Granger was not on the court for a relatively long amount of time which could be the reason for his average performance. The Pacers and Bulls was a great sneak peek of what is to come.
