NBA 2018-19: Minnesota Timberwolves vs Chicago Bulls: 3 Talking Points

#2 Good Contributions by Dario Saric and Derrick Rose

Dario Saric had 19 points and 14 rebounds coming off the bench. He is getting adjusted to his new role with the team. Saric is a great player to have in the team. He scored 4 three-pointers against Memphis, was great against the Denver and dominated the offensive glass tonight. He is a perfect example of a player who wants to contribute to the team in any way possible.

This is what he said after the match:

Derrick Rose, on the other hand, has been amazing this season. He is averaging 19.5 points this season and scored 22 yesterday. Rose has now scored at least 20 points in 7 games out of the last 9.

This is what Taj Gibson had to say about Rose:

“He’s just calm. He’s comfortable being around people who are familiar with him, people who are going to let him play his game, understand when he’s feeling right and when he’s not feeling right."

“The way he’s getting ready for the game as far as working out, monitoring his body, taking care of himself, he’s a totally different person. Every game, it’s like he’s in a new form. He’s born again. And it shows.”
