Derrick Rose shifting focus to Cavs yet? 'Hell no'
The Chicago Bulls pulled off a thrilling victory in Milwaukee last night, dispatching the Bucks 113-106 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the first-round playoff matchup between the two sides.
Derrick Rose looked like his vintage self in the matchup, scoring a season-high 34 points, and the basketball world continues to salivate about the seemingly inevitable matchup between his Bulls and LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers in the next round. Cleveland took their own 3-0 series lead Thursday night, over the Boston Celtics.
Chicago's native son isn't thinking into the future, though. “Hell no. I’m not thinking ahead,’’ he told reporters after the game. “Just trying to get better every game and push myself.’’
“We’re playing against a hungry team,’’ he went on. “They’re pushing us. All I’m doing is pushing myself for every game. It’s the playoffs, you have to love it... I’m just doing whatever the game tells me to do. The way we run our offense, you don’t know who is going to get the shot.’’
Make sure to catch Rose and the Bulls' attempt to complete the sweep, and set themselves up for a main event with Cleveland, as they face Milwaukee tomorrow night at 5:30 PM ET.
