Derrick Rose didn't like (Pacers) celebration "I'll never forget how they celebrated just from winni

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose does not usually raise eyebrows with his words. In fact, some have wondered if such a humble, soft-spoken star could ever be an effective leader, but the reigning MVP had a quote worth noting after Wednesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers.

"I'll never forget how they celebrated just from winning this game," Rose told reporters. "I can't wait to play them again."

The Pacers' 95-90 win was the Bulls' first home loss of the season, and it brought Indiana to within 2½ games of the Central Division leaders. It also exacted a small measure of revenge for the Pacers, who lost a hard-fought first-round playoff series to the Bulls last season.

So for those reasons, plus the fact the Pacers were coming off a decisive home loss to the Orlando Magic the previous night, there was perhaps more of a celebration on the United Center court than what would normally follow a January win in the NBA.

"They are just thrilled to get the win here," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "They were crushed that we didn't beat them last year in the playoffs."

Nice to see the Pacers a top team in the East again. Young players are developing nicely and Granger is one of my favorite players in the league. Impressive road win at Chicago.
