Derrick Rose Hits Game-Winning Shot to End Warriors’ Home Streak

The mighty Golden State Warriors have been dominant at home all season. That is, until last night, when they fell to the Chicago Bulls 113-111 in overtime. In a thrilling game at Oracle Arena, the Warriors led all throughout the fourth quarter until Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich hit a 3-point jumper with 16 seconds to go, giving the Bulls a 107-105 lead. Warriors forward Draymond Green then got the offensive rebound off a missed shot by guard Andre Iguodala and scored 2 points to send the game into overtime. Derrick Rose had a mediocre game throughout the night, scoring 30 points but also committing a career high 11 turnovers with only 1 assist, but he came through when it mattered most. With 7 seconds left in overtime, D. Rose stepped back and hit the winning jumpshot to end the Warriors’ 19 home-game win streak.  

After his record-breaking night last Friday, Warriors guard Klay Thompson had another great game, scoring 30 points with 10 rebounds. However,he remained quiet in overtime and was unable to answer D. Rose’s 2 point jumper at the end of the game.

The Warriors fall to 36-7 and remain number one in the West, while the Bulls improve to 30-17.
