WATERCOOLER CHAT: ROSE HELPS BULLS, TIMBERWOLVES OUTSCORE, GRONKOWSKI SITS OUT FOR NOW

BASKETBALL

In the NBA, Derrick Rose helped the Chicago Bulls rebound from a bad loss to the Miami Heat with a 98 – 88 win over the Washington Wizards. Rose scored a season high 35 points. He had 13 points in the first quarter, and shot 14 of 15 from the foul line. Rose added eight assists to his box score.

And while the Bulls rebounded, the Minnesota Timberwolves helped their coach Rick Adelman win in his return to Houston. The Timberwolves outscored the Rockets 120 -108 with the help of Michael Beasley’s 34 points and Kevin Love’s 29. Ricky Rubio added 18 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

FOOTBALL

In the NFL, the New England Patriots number one receiving threat and record-setting tight end, Rob Gronkowski, sat out practice on Monday. This was Gronkowski’s third practice in a row he has missed. He remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain on his left leg that he suffered in the AFC Championship Game. Gronkowski is expected to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday, but more than 80 percent of their plays have two tight ends on the field. The catch — the Patriots have no listed back up. Gronkowski totaled 90 catches on the year for more than 1,300 yards and a tight end record 17 touchdowns.
