NBA Basketball Matchup: Pacers vs Bulls
It was another amazing performance by Derrick Rose that led the Bulls to yet another big road win last night in Philadelphia.

The Pacers (17-10) have been a surprise this season, but they have dropped a season high 3 straight and getting back on track against the hot Heat, no pun intended, will be far from easy since they have lost 7 of 8 games to Miami.
The struggling Orlando Magic will meet up on Saturday with a much-proved, surging Indiana Pacers team that has surpassed the century mark in at least three contests leading up to tip off, after failing to reach 100 points in 13 straight games.
NBA news: Pacers to name Vogel head coach
I would’ve sworn this was already reported – but the Indiana Pacers are expected to name Frank Vogel their head coach for 2011 today.
Vogel took over as interim coach after Jim O’Brien’s midseason firing and took the Pacers to a 20-18 record, helping them reach the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
Lakers assistant Brian Shaw was considered a major candidate for the job but has instead accepted a spot on Indiana’s bench as an associate head coach.
The Detroit Pistons are now the only NBA team without a head coach.
Rudy Fernandez to play one more year in NBA?
It appears Rudy Fernandez is not long for the NBA – but he plans to honor the rest of his current contract. The Dallas Mavericks forward had previously complained about playing time and talked about returning to his native Spain before he was traded to the reigning NBA champs last month.
He also reportedly received a lucrative offer from Real Madrid. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
But Fernandez says he’ll honor final year of his contract before going anywhere. He averaged 9.1 points over three season with the Portland Trail Blazers.
