Bulls ride Rose in fourth to down Knicks
Basketball Betting Lines
02/02/2012 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derrick Rose scored 15 of his 32 points in the
fourth quarter as the Chicago Bulls held on to take down the New York Knicks,
105-102.
Carmelo Anthony had an opportunity to tie the game at the final buzzer, but
his long three-point try from the right wing was way off the mark.
Rose also added 13 assists while Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver netted 16
points apiece for the Bulls, who rebounded after Wednesday's lopsided loss in
Philadelphia. They moved to 2-2 on their nine-game road trip.
Amare Stoudemire had 34 points and 11 rebounds while Anthony added 26 points
and six boards for New York, which has lost 10 of its last 12 games.
Rose carried the Bulls early in the fourth, scoring the first seven points and
14 of the first 18 for Chicago as the visitors took a 95-88 lead midway
through the final stanza.
But the Knicks did a stellar job of defending Rose late as the reigning NBA
MVP was limited to just a point in the final 5:53 of game action.
An 8-2 spurt, capped by Landry Fields' layup, pulled the Knicks within a
point, 101-100, with 23.4 seconds remaining.
Korver nailed a pair of free throws to make it a three-point game. Following a
New York timeout, Stoudemire had a wide-open look to tie it from the top of
the arc, but his shot clanked off the side of the rim.
Taj Gibson made 1-of-2 from the line to make it 104-100 with 9.3 to go, but
Anthony was fouled with 6.3 remaining. He made both foul shots to make it
104-102.
Rose, who came in 35-of-37 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter this
season, made 1-of-2 from the line to keep New York's hopes alive, but
Anthony's desperation trey at the buzzer wasn't close.
Chicago shot 61.9 percent in the opening quarter and took a 29-25 lead into
the second. Korver scored nine points to pace the Bulls.
The Bulls closed the opening half on an 11-4 run, taking a 55-44 advantage
into the break. Rose nearly had a double-double by halftime with 10 points and
nine assists while Stoudemire kept the Knicks within shouting distance by
posting 18 first-half points.
The Knicks rallied in the third quarter, connecting on 10 of their first 11
shots as they pulled within 66-64 midway through the stanza. The Bulls took a
77-75 advantage into the final quarter.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
