CHICAGO -- There wasn't much mystery in the Golden State Warriors' 125-94 destruction of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. For much of the one-sided affair, it looked more like a scrimmage between the varsity and junior varsity at a local high school than it did an actual NBA game. As far as explanations go, Wednesday night offered a very simple one: The Bulls were just beaten by a better team.
"It's embarrassing," point guard Derrick Rose said. "[We] let go of the rope."
Rose actually had one of his best games of the season, scoring 29 points and attacking the basket aggressively from the outset, but the rest of the Bulls looked lifeless at times.
