National Basketball Association Playoff Game Capsules Apr 28th 2012, 22:45 Chicago, IL –  Armed again with the NBA's No. 1 overall seed, the Bulls turned it on when they needed to Saturday and opened the postseason with a win over the 76ers. But they lost Derrick Rose near the end of the contest after the reigning MVP went down with an apparent left knee injury and had to be helped off the court. Rose had 23 points, nine rebounds and nine assists and Chicago rolled to a 103-91 win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Philadelphia. A few runs here and there was all it took to keep the Sixers at bay, despite Evan Turner's contention that his team lucked out by drawing the Bulls instead of the Miami Heat. Richard Hamilton scored 19 points, Luol Deng had 17 and Joakim Noah added 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls, who also had the No. 1 overall seed last year but were eliminated by the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. Elton Brand had 19 points and seven rebounds to lead the Sixers. Jrue Holiday scored 16, Thaddeus Young added 13 and Turner had 12 points.
