CHICAGO, IL - APRIL 28: Derrick Rose #1 of the Chicago Bulls grimaces as he goes up to pass over Lavoy Allen #50 of the Philadelphia 76ers after apparently injuring his knee as Jrue Holiday #11 and Spencer Hawes #00 defend in Game One of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals during the 2012 NBA Playoffs at the United Center on April 28, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls defeated the 76ers 103-91.

After Derrick Rose's injury, Chicago looks to take a 2-0 lead on the 76ers in Game 2.

The Chicago Bulls won Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, but lost the 2011 NBA MVP in the process, with Derrick Rose's torn ACL casting a pall over the victory. The Bulls will face their brave new world on Tuesday night in Game 2 against the Sixers.

Rose's absence is not that new for the Bulls — the dynamic point guard missed close to half of the 2011-12 season with a variety of injuries, and Chicago still managed to compile the league's best record. But without their playmaker, the Bulls might struggle to score.

That's great news for Philadelphia, maybe the worst offensive team in the 2012 NBA playoffs. The 76ers have topped 100 points just 11 times since the All-Star break, and five of those outings have come against the Warriors, Nets, Cavaliers and Bobcats.

No. 8 Philadelphia 76ers at No. 1 Chicago Bulls
8 p.m. ET -- Game 2, Eastern Conference Quarterfinals | Bulls lead, 1-0
National TV: TNT
