Bulls (86) @ Grizzlies (102)

Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Hornets: Game 13 Preview - Continued Success

Derrick Rose sits with his recurring toe injury, and the Bulls get dominated in Memphis. With an easy upcoming schedule and CJ Watson's return, is it time for management to force Rose to rest?

Rudy Gay scored 25 points, Mike Conley 20, and Marreese Speights and Marc Gasol both had double-doubles as the Grizzlies led early and led often against the visiting Chicago Bulls, emerging victorious with a 102-86 win Monday afternoon on MLK Day. The Bulls played without Derrick Rose, who missed another game with turf toe.

Fudge. No Rose, but CJ Watson returned. Brief run in the 4th to get deficit to 9, but Bulls trailed the whole game. Deng played 39 minutes.

Not going well so far.

Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls will play a national TV game on Monday afternoon when they travel south to play the Memphis Grizzlies. The Bulls bested Memphis by 40 points in their first meeting, but Rudy Gay and the rest of the Grizzlies are surely hoping for a different result in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day matinee.
