@DRose Leads Bulls Past Thunder to Remain NBA's Only Preseason Unbeaten

WICHITA, KS.  While he did not have his best game of the preseason in front of his first national television audience of #theReturn, Derrick Rose still got the job done in the end.

Without Joakim Noah (groin) and Kirk Hinrich (concussion), Rose propelled the Chicago Bulls to their 7th win of the preseason, and with the New Orleans Pelicans losing on the night, the Bulls remain the preseason's only undefeated squad going into the preseason's final contest.

With a line of 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists, DRose kept his undefeated Return going for its 7th game.

Rose, despite missing some makeable shots, put up 26 points on only 15 shots, to go along with 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Much of that efficiency was due to Rose's aggressiveness on the offensive end, drawing and making all of his 10 free throws, as well as, hitting 4 of 8 from three point range.

One of Rose's earliest shots in the game was a three pointer that was waived off due to the shot clock not resetting. It, along with his other three-point attempts, showed the consistent stroke he has developed on his three that has made it such a successful weapon in his arsenal so far throughout the preseason.

With #theReturn of Derrick's explosiveness and agility, the consistent jumper and three-point shot he has worked so hard on may make guarding him, including by Miami's Lebron James, impossible. We'll have plenty of regular season and postseason games to see how his hard work will pay off.

Chicago also received major contributions from Carlos Boozer (20 points, 14 rebounds) and Luol Deng (20 points, 10 rebounds).

Starter Jimmy Butler has looked very good next to DRose, chipping in 12 points and 4 rebounds.

For the Thunder, Kevin Durant lead the way with 22 points.
