In what was probably the most polarizing performance since his arrival in the NBA on Jan. 27, Derrick Rose committed 11 — yes, ELEVEN — turnovers, but drilled a contested 20-footer with Klay Thompson in his face to hand the Golden State Warriors their first home loss against the Eastern Conference this season.
Rose missed 20 of his 33(!) shot attempts against the Warriors and only dished out one assist in the 113-111 victory for the Bulls, who were starting a six-game West Coast road trip in Oakland that night.
