The approach is why Ronnie Brewer can finish with 12 points and seven rebounds on a night Richard Hamilton exits just 83 seconds after tipoff with a right shoulder injury. The Bulls' focus and mental toughness is why they can snap the Pacers' six-game win streak even though Indiana rested here on Sunday night while the Bulls battled in Philadelphia.
It's even why Rose and Luol Deng can rebound from poor first halfs — Rose shot 1-for-9; Deng 1-for-7 — for a third-quarter 3-point barrage that turned the game in a 20-4 run.
"In the third quarter, we had great energy and will," Thibodeau said.
Deng scored a team-high 20 points. Rose added 13 points and nine assists despite resting in the fourth quarter.
