BRIEF: Bulls' Derrick Rose says shoulder is fine

May 05--CLEVELAND -- Derrick Rose said he has no pain in the right shoulder that he suffered a stinger in late in the Bulls' Game 1 victory over the Cavaliers.

The Bulls didn't practice Tuesday, opting for a film session and walkthrough at the team hotel.

"I feel good," Rose said in a hotel ballroom. "I'm not sore or anything so that's a good sign. The stinger was the most pain I had. This morning, I don't feel anything."

Rose posted 25 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Bulls, who try to take a commanding 2-0 lead with two road victories on Wednesday.

"Even if I'm not scoring or having a bad game, you gotta figure things out," Rose said. "But I can't have that thought in my mind. I'm just having a lot of confidence in my game.

"Overall, we competed. Even when they made their runs and changed the momentum, we withstood that and played together as a team. We didn't get rattled."
