The first Playoff game of the season between Chicago and Philadelphia proved to be a costly victory for the Bulls due to the injury sustained on its star player in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
Derrick Rose is out for the rest of a season with a torn ACL and the Bulls will now have to return to "no-derrick" playing mode as the league saw a few some weeks when the star point-guard was still sitting out due to an injury.
Philadelphia on the other hand may be happy, not for the agony Rose and the bulls are going through, but because of the opportunity this misfortune provides.
The Bulls may have won game 1, but now they will have to face an arguably soaring confidence in the Sixers resulting from the heart-breaking accident.
The Bulls won 103 - 91 and Game 2 is on Tuesday, May 1st.
