With 3 minutes, 39 seconds left in the Bulls' 96-81 victory over the Cavaliers on Monday night at the United Center, Derrick Rose scored on a coast-to-coast drive that brought back memories of his dominance.
Twenty-four seconds later, Rose sat on the bench grimacing, replaced by Kirk Hinrich and drawing attention from assistant trainer Jeff Tanaka and team physician Brian Cole.
Rose will be re-evaluated Tuesday, but both he and Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau called his right hamstring injury "minor."
"It's just a minor strain, nothing serious," Rose said. "It's nothing big at all. I should be ready (Friday)."
