Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls, 107-95

The game that every basketball fan has been talking about for months now - Miami vs Bulls. The must-see game of last night spelled the return of Chicago's main point guard and former MVP, Derrick Rose. With former MVP Rose against current MVP LeBron James, you can just imagine how it all went down.

The Bulls took a quick lead in the starting minutes of the game, as Rose started again for the Bulls after missing an entire season due to injury. However, James and his squad were quick to answer back, and as they took the lead they never looked back.

Miami gave the Bulls a beating in the second quarter, scoring 37 against the dismal 18 of the Bulls. The first half ended with the Heat up, 54-33.

The Bulls tried to pull a comeback in the dying minutes of the game, but their efforts weren't enough to give them their first win this season.

Rose had a modest return to the league, only scoring 12 points in a 1-7 shooting from the 3-point line, with five turnovers. Carlos Boozer led Chicago with 31 points, while Jimmy Butler added 20.

"If anything, I'm disappointed in the loss. My performance, I can easily change that by making shots and keep down the turnovers," Rose noted, NBA.com reports.

Notably, the Bulls had more rebounds than Miami, 41 to 40, with offensive boards 11 to 5.
