NBA MVP Derrick Rose and his hapless Chicago Bulls suffered a setback to their NBA championship hopes when our Atlanta Hawks breezed to a 100-88 win over the Bulls in game 4 at the Philips Arena yesterday.
The Hawks’ easy win evens the Eastern Conference semifinals series at 2 games apiece. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Chicago.
According to local club promoters Slimm and Mr. Plush of Plush Blue Entertainment, Derrick Rose partied hard with teammates Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer of the Bulls at Primal nightclub on Friday night in Atlanta after the game. They say the affable Derrick made a quick $15,000 for his appearance at Primal.
Singer/songwriter Ne-Yo as well as Sheree of the ‘Real Housewives’ were also in attendance at Primal Friday night.
Derrick was seen knocking back a few in the VIP at the Thursday night party at Gold Room sponsored by AG Entertainment. All that hard partying may have affected his game yesterday. Still, Rose scored 34 points to Atlanta Hawks’ Josh Smith’s 16.
Rose, 22, is the youngest NBA player in the history of the NBA to win the MVP award. He also scored a career high 44 points in game 3 against the Hawks the same night of the party.
