See Derrick shoot, shoot Derrick shoot?

That’s been one of the questions for the Bulls in the two games on this Western Conference trip as Rose’s shooting helped the Bulls Tuesday beat the Golden State Warriors in overtime, but then Thursday in Los Angeles Rose came up short on the potential game winner in a rough seven for 26 shooting …

Luol Deng was back.

But just for a day.

One of five players in Bulls franchise history to have played during 10 seasons with the team and sixth alltime in games played as a Bull, Deng was back in the United Center for the first time Sunday with his Miami Heat.
