<p><span>Derrick Rose</span> for <span class="caps">MVP</span>? How about Derrick Rose for Most Willing To Fight Through Health Problems To Lead His Team To Victory?</p>
<p>OK, that doesn’t make such a great acronym (it would be <span class="caps">MWTFTHPTLHTTV</span>), but that’s what Rose did tonight, fighting off two stomach ulcers and at times visibly wincing in pain, to lead the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Bulls</a> to a 99-90 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>, good revenge for the 29-point beating they took at the hands of the Magic last month at the UC.</p>
<p>Rose had 22 points and led everyone in the game with 12 assists, and pulled down six rebounds, including a pair in the game’s final minute, which he followed with two free throws that iced the win.</p>
<p>The Bulls trailed at halftime by five, 51-46, but came roaring out with a 34-point third quarter to take an 80-68 lead after three quarters, their largest lead of the game.</p>
<p><span>Luol Deng</span> led all Bulls scorers with 26 points (24 in the second half), and <span>Carlos Boozer</span> also posted a double double with 16 points and a game-leading 16 rebounds. That negated a huge game from Orlando’s <span>Dwight Howard</span>; Howard put in 40 points with 15 rebounds, but the Bulls owned the boards 54-40.</p>
<p>The Bulls have no rest, as they’ll face the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.indycornrows.com/">Indiana Pacers</a> tomorrow night at the UC. After Rose played more than 37 minutes tonight, hopefully he’ll still be at full strength on Saturday night. With the win, the Bulls improved to 32-14, tied with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Heat</a> for second in the Eastern Conference, 3.5 games behind the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Celtics</a>.</p>

<p>According to <a href="http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/01/roses-status-vs-magic-more-than-likely.html" target="_blank">Chicago Breaking Sports,</a> <span>Derrick Rose</span> is "likely" to play in tonight's game at the United Center against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>, despite not eating much for the last several days while fighting some very painful stomach ulcers:</p>
<blockquote>"I'll have to see when I get down (to United Center," Rose said. "I haven't really been able to eat anything. It still hurts. But it's a game that I love. So I should be able to play. <br><br> "I've been eating portions of things. But I haven't had a whole meal in like three or four days. The ulcers have to heal a little bit more. It's still sore. It's something I have to fight through."</blockquote>
<p>Rose did participate in Friday morning's shootaround, and he said he's lost a few pounds from his usual playing weight. Coach <span>Tom Thibodeau</span> said it will likely be a game-time decision.</p>
<p>Rose and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Bulls</a> will be facing his All-Star starting teammate <span>Dwight Howard</span>; Howard and the Magic blew out the Bulls by 29 points on Dec. 1, the day <span>Carlos Boozer</span> made his Bulls debut. Howard had only 13 points that night, but the Bulls appeared to take the night off. Now, they have had three days' rest, which they really needed after not having more than one day in between games any time this month. Howard, for his part, is averaging a double-double this season -- 22 points and 13.4 rebounds per game.</p>
<p>The game begins at 7 p.m. CST and will be televised on CSN Chicago.</p>
