Bulls advance

DERRICK ROSE must have figured out that his sprained left ankle needs rest.

The leading MVP contender attacked early and often to lead the Chicago Bulls past the Indiana Pacers, 116-89, and into the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday.

Rose showed no sign of a hurting ankle as he scattered 25 points and issued six assists in less than 30 minutes of action.

He didn’t need to play much as the Bulls put the Pacers away early. The Bulls led 36-25 after one quarter and 84-65 entering the payoff period.
