MILWAUKEE -- At this point, those "M-V-P!" chants even follow Derrick Rose when he and the Chicago Bulls go on the road. Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey . The way Rose stole a game from the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday certainly made him seem worthy. Rose orchestrated a stunning 12-0 run by Chicago in the final three minutes, rallying the Bulls for a 95-87 victory. "The worst thing you can do is give me confidence no matter what Im doing," Rose said. "If I get any type of confidence, its going to be hard to stop me." A large, loud contingent of travelling Bulls fans made Rose feel at home, chanting "M-V-P!" as the final seconds ran out -- just as they did throughout the game. Rose finished with 30 points and a career-high 17 assists. And while the way he took over the game at the end was jaw-dropping, his passing was just as impressive. "It was an up-tempo-type game," Rose said. "I was trying to make the right pass, put a lot of pressure on them and it was rolling for us." With Chicago trailing 87-83 after four straight free throws by Carlos Delfino, Rose hit a pair of free throws and then fed Joakim Noah for a fast-break dunk to tie it. With the Bucks bobbling the ball on offence, Rose hit three straight shots in the final two minutes, then handed off to Ronnie Brewer for a game-clinching fast-break layup. "Hes done it all year and hes got to continue to do it," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The thing I really respect about him is hes never satisfied. Hell keep driving. The important thing for him is to win. Hes not concerned about what hes doing individually. Its how the team is doing." It was a tough loss to take for the Bucks, a strong defensive team that is scrambling to make the playoffs. "Its really tough," Jennings said. "Fading away, just fade-away jump shots, off balance. Thats why hes one of the MVP candidates right now." Bucks coach Scott Skiles was just as disappointed with his players inability to score inside as he was with their defence at the end. "We didnt get much done," Skiles said. "And then Rose just went off on us in the end." Carlos Boozer had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago, while Noah scored 12 with 11 rebounds. John Salmons scored 25 for Milwaukee but shot 0-for-5 the fourth quarter. Delfino added 23 for the Bucks. Jennings scored 13 points on 5-for-15 shooting for Milwaukee. Michael Redd was back in uniform for the Bucks for the first time since sustaining a severe knee injury last January, but did not play. It was a must-have home game for the Bucks -- even if a heavily pro-Chicago crowd certainly didnt make it sound that way for much of the night. With the Bulls vying for the No. 1 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference and tickets hard to come by at the United Center, a large horde of Bulls fans made the drive up I-94 to see their team play in Milwaukee. The travelling fans made their presence felt early, booing any home fan shown in Green Bay Packers gear on the scoreboard video display before the game, then booing the Bucks during pre-game introductions. "It was kind of weird," Jennings said. "You didnt know whose house it really was." More than anything, the visiting fans went wild for Rose; one woman held up a sign that read, "Future Mrs. D Rose." A collective gasp filled the arena when Rose converted a pair of acrobatic layups in the first half, and fans continued to chant "M-V-P! M-V-P!" every time he made a big play. And he made plenty of them, especially when Chicago need him the most. "The challenge for us is to keep getting better," Thibodeau said. "There are a lot of things that we have to improve upon. Were still not where we need to be. We dodged a bullet. We trailed most of the game. Its two games in a row defensively we were poor in the first half. We have to change that." Notes: Redd said before the game that hes willing to play whatever role Skiles sees fit; Skiles said Redd is in excellent condition, but his timing is a little off after being out so long. ...

You can catch all the action on TSN and TSN Mobile TV beginning at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. Dont forget to join our TSN.ca Game Night Blog to chat about the action with your fellow fans. Calgary itself is looking to salvage the finale of a three-game homestand following losses to San Jose and Detroit. After getting shut out by the Sharks prior to the All-Star break, the Flames were dealt a 3-1 loss by the Red Wings on Tuesday. Michael Cammalleri had the lone goal for Calgary, which has lost four of six overall and sits five points out of a playoff spot. "We had some darn good opportunities and we didnt capitalize," said Calgary head coach Brent Sutter. "Its not like were not getting opportunities and we had three or four quality scoring chances where we missed the net and didnt even get a rebound out of it." Miikka Kiprusoff matched Mike Vernons club record for games played by a goaltender with 526, a mark he will likely break this evening. He gave up three goals on 25 shots in Tuesdays loss. Calgary also lost a key forward on Tuesday, with Lee Stempniak suffering a high ankle sprain that will keep him out of action for approximately six weeks. The Flames have been held to just 55 goals at home this year, tied with Columbus for the fewest in the league, but did log a 5-2 home win over the Blackhawks back on Nov. 18. Chicago, though, has a pair of home victories over the Flames this season as well and has won 12 of the past 15 encounters overall despite a three-game slide in Calgary. Marian Hossa has logged a pair of goalss and three assists versus the Flames this year, with teammates Sharp and Jonathan Toews adding four assists each. Taylor Pyatt Jersey. . Curtis Glencross and Olli Jokinen have logged five points each for Calgary versus Chicago this season, but Glencross has missed the past four games with a left MCL ailment. Chicago has not gotten its club record-tying road trip off to the best of starts and a trip to Calgary may not be the remedy it is looking for. The Blackhawks try to avoid a season-high fifth straight loss overall tonight and seventh on the road. Chicago is playing the third of nine in a row on the road, losing an overtime test in Vancouver on Tuesday prior to last nights 8-4 defeat in Edmonton. The Blackhawks are 0-4-2 in their past six away from Chicago overall and havent won as the guest since Dec. 14. It was a one-man show in Edmonton last night, with the Oilers Sam Gagner matching an Oiler record with eight points off four goals and four assists. He tied a mark held by greats Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey. "What can you say about a game like that," said Chicago forward Patrick Sharp. "That guy (Gagner) had the magic touch tonight." Sharps touch wasnt too bad either as he logged a pair of goals, one shorthanded, while Jamal Mayers and Dave Bolland also scored in defeat. Chicago has dropped nine of its past 14 overall to slip six points behind Detroit for first place in the Central Division. The Blackhawks will hope to avoid posting their first five-game slide since March 13-20, 2009 and will look for better goaltending this evening. Starter Corey Crawford was pulled in the third after allowing five goals on 28 shots, while Ray Emery yielded three tallies on 13 shots. Chicago also lost forward Andrew Brunette with an upper-body injury. wholesale authentic nfl jerseys ' ' '
