Bulls' Rose has historically poor shooting game in win over Bucks
Derrick Rose's shooting woes continued in Monday's convincing victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Rose shot 1-of-13 from the field, including 1-of-7 from long range, to record a dubious feat he had never accomplished before.
Derrick Rose: 1-13 from field tonight; 1st game of career in which he didn't make a 2-point field goal (only make was a 3-pointer)

Rose is shooting 8-of-34 in three games since the All-Star break and has been held under double-digit points in two of them. The poor shooting comes after Rose missed a team practice Wednesday and subsequently issued an apology to his teammates afterward.
The 2011 MVP has flashed spurts of his former elite self, but largely hasn't been the same player who morphed into one of the game's top players before knee injuries hampered his career. Rose entered the game shooting 41.3 percent from the field, which would be the worst mark of his career (excluding last season when he was limited to 10 games).
Luckily for the Bulls they haven't needed the old Rose. Chicago is in first place in the Central Division and third in the Eastern Conference.
