CHICAGO (AP) — Derrick Rose says the Chicago Bulls will come back hungrier next season after the Miami Heat knocked them out of the playoffs.
As good as they were this season, the Bulls came up
short in the Eastern Conference finals. Miami won the series in five games and
will play Dallas for the NBA championship.
The Bulls were aiming for more after back-to-back
41-win seasons and first-round playoff exits. They boasted the league's MVP in
Rose, the Coach of the Year in Tom Thibodeau and a league-leading 62 wins while
advancing to the conference finals for the first time in 13 years.
If Chicago and Miami becomes a playoff rivalry, the
Bulls have questions to answer.
