MVP-Worthy!

First, Derrick Rose accepted his MVP Award.
Then, he spent 48 minutes reminding people why he's the MVP.

With the Hawks trying to upset the Bulls for the second time in a row, Derrick Rose kicked it up another gear and almost singlehandedly willed the Bulls to a Game victory 86-73.



Rose had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists but was wild at certain times, also collecting 8 TO's. Joakim Noah played well, scoring 19points and collecting 14 rebounds, 7 of them on the offensive boards, while Luol Deng scored 14points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

The Hawks were led by rookie guard Jeff Teague, who scored 21 points and had 3 steals. After playing so well in Game 1, both Joe Johnson (16points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist) and Jamal Crawford (11points, 1 assist) had so-so games.

The Hawks and Bulls are now tied 1-1 as the series moves to Atlanta.
