NBA roundup Thursday’s game
Bulls 92, Spurs 85
CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored 13 points and had seven assists to lead the balanced Bulls to an impressive season-opening victory. Rose, who missed most of the preseason with an injured ankle, showed some of the explosiveness that carried him to the Rookie of the Year award last season. He had no trouble penetrating and delivered some dizzying spin moves, showing no signs of the right ankle pain that had bothered him the past few weeks. He had plenty of help, and Chicago pulled away in the second half despite Tim Duncan’s 28 points and 16 rebounds.
