Owner Real Deal Posted January 8, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 ATLANTA -- Josh Smith was embarrassed at how easily the Atlanta Hawks let Derrick Rose dominate them earlier in the week. That wasn't the case against the Chicago Bulls star on Saturday night. "We did a good team job on him defensively in crowding him, trapping him and showing him different looks," Smith said after the Hawks held Rose to just eight point in a 109-94 win over the Bulls. "We played sound defense on him." Smith scored 25 points, and Joe Johnson and Vladimir Radmanovic each added 17 as Atlanta ended Chicago's six-game winning streak. John Lucas III had 14 of his team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter for Chicago, which never led. The Bulls, who dropped to 7-2, had been off to their best start since going 12-0 in 1996-97. Rose, last season's league MVP, had his lowest total since he scored six when the Bulls took a 17-point victory at Toronto on Dec. 15, 2010. He did not return to the game after leaving with 2:29 left in the third quarter.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120107_CHI@ATL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
