Derrick leads Bulls past Clippers

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose said before Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers that he had a long way to go before he approached certain aspects of Chris Paul’s game.

Specifically, Rose said, Paul and the Boston Celtics’ Rajon Rondo are still in a class of their own in passing ability from the point guard position. He’s not yet at their level, he said.

Come game’s end Friday, Rose’s comments sounded more like self-deprecation than candor. He’s not as far off Paul’s pace as he made it seem.

The reigning NBA MVP had 16 assists to lead Chicago to a 114-101 win over the Clippers at Staples Center on Friday, out-passing Paul and out-shooting him, too.

“You just try to contain him,” said Clippers forward Blake Griffin, who led all scorers with 34 points. “But he does so much for his team.

“He is tough, obviously.”

Rose also had 29 points on 8-of-14 shooting and eight rebounds. The points, rebounds and assists were all season highs, and the assists were a league-high this week and just one short of his career-high.
