Basketball: Rose lifts Bulls over Lakers

LOS ANGELES: Derrick Rose scored the go-ahead basket with 4.8 seconds remaining as Chicago Bulls posted their season-opening win on Christmas Day by stunning Los Angeles Lakers 88-87. While Rose provided the finishing scoring touch, teammate Luol Deng gave the Bulls the fourth-quarter spark they needed to come from behind in front of a crowd of 18,997 at Staples Centre arena. “We showed fight,” said Rose. “We don’t want to be in a situation like that but we got it done.”
