The Chicago Bulls waltzed into Sacramento and came out with a hard fought win. Now 2-2 on this latest road trip the Bulls faced the Denver Nuggets without the services of center Pau Gasol.
Second year man Cameron Bairstow started at center for the 6th place Bulls looking to spark some sort of momentum going into the All-Star break.
The game also represents a bit of a challenge for Bulls guard Derrick Rose facing up and coming Denver rookie guard Emmanuel Mudiay. After impressive efforts in back to back games against Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo, Rose will need to maintain his rhythm and conditioning in tonight’s contest.
