Bulls Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The first basketball game between the top two picks of the 2008 NBA Draft didn't go well for the Bulls. In the opener of the Orlando summer league, No. 2 pick Michael Beasley lit up the Bulls for 28 points as his Miami Heat squad rolled to an easy 94-70 victory.

Top pick Derrick Rose finished with 10 points, four assists and five turnovers. He was better in the second half when the Bulls concentrated on trying to push the ball up court and let Rose try to drive toward the basket.

"We didn't win," Rose said, "so I think I played horrible."

Of course, it's only summer league and will mean nothing by the time the regular season begins. In fact, Beasley came out the next day and hit just 1 of 13 shots against New Jersey.
