(SportsNetwork.com) - There are several ways to motivate people. Some are more egregious than others. Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose opted to call out his teammates in a postgame interview following Mondays loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Everybody has to be on the same page. Until then, were going to continue to get our (expletive) kicked, Rose said. Were not communicating while were on the floor to one another. Everybody is quiet. Trust plays a part, but communicating on defense in a team sport is huge. Weve got to give a better effort. It seems like were not even competing. Its (expletive) irritating. The Bulls were handed their sixth loss in eight games by the Cavaliers and shot 37.5 percent from the field. They were out-rebounded by a 54-40 margin and Rose scored 18 points on 5-of-14 field-goal shooting. Rose should be one of the last players to preach about having an edge and communicating when hes been heavily criticized for not playing through pain and sacrificing for his teammates. He has missed plenty of time with various injuries and probably would sit two or three games with a hangnail. This is the same Rose who said he is worried about his future and doesnt want to go to meetings or his sons graduation all sore. Suck it up, Derrick. Your concern about long term doesnt hold much weight, and now is when the Bulls need you the most. Including the Cleveland game, Rose shot no better than 35 percent five times over a 12-game stretch. Everybody has a bad game here and there, but Rose is supposed to be the leader of the Bulls and one of the top guards in the league. By no means am I trying to question Roses ability or imply hes soft because he is still a top scorer in the league and hasnt proven it on a consistent basis. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said his team isnt giving multiple efforts or concentrating on the floor. The Bulls arent doing their jobs and that must change, according to the gritty and defensive-minded coach. Forward Taj Gibson got some things off his chest, too. We have to practice harder, Gibson said. We cant be taking days off. We have to play with some energy. We have the personnel. It comes from within. Theres nothing more you can say. Its all about how much heart you have and how determined youre going to be. All the talk must have resonated with the Bulls, who came out like wild banshees with Thursdays 104-81 beating of the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. Rose scored a game-high 22 points and the defensive effort was there, holding the Spurs below 100 points and 37 percent shooting. San Antonios big four of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard were all present and didnt produce much, leading coach Gregg Popovich to say his teams effort was humiliating and embarrassing. It has to be an accomplished feeling to get under the skin of one of the top coaches the likes of which the NBA has never seen before. You go through ups and downs through the course of a season and its how you navigate through those things, Thibodeau said. The important thing is to be mentally tough through adversity and concentrate on whats important and thats trying to improve. The Bulls will be tested through the course of the next eight games, with seven of those coming on the road, including Fridays Big D showdown with the Dallas Mavericks. Chicago is going through the gauntlet against Atlanta, Cleveland, San Antonio, Dallas, Miami, Golden State, Phoenix and Houston. Its mettle will be tested on all accounts. Rose and the Bulls will make the playoffs this season and are currently the No. 4 seed in the East. Before that happens, there will probably be some soul searching once again, private meetings and inspirational words. The Bulls responded positively in their recent hiccup, so theres hope they can steer clear of any controversy moving forward. Like Thibodeau said, there will be ups and downs, and its all about handling adversity the right way. Responding to criticism and pulverizing the defending NBA champions is a good stepping-stone for Chicago on the path of success.

Kearns scored his first NHL goal, Logan Couture netted his 100th, and the San Jose Sharks broke Anaheims 10-game winning streak by beating the Ducks 3-1 on Sunday night. Brent Burns added a goal for the Sharks, who won their fourth straight. Antti Niemi stopped 30 shots in his 21st win of the season. "Thats a great story, isnt it?" Sharks coach Todd McLellan asked. "Theres also a lesson in it about believing in yourself and persevering." Kearns, a veteran of nearly 600 minor league games, played in just his seventh NHL contest. "It was just a loose puck," Kearns said. "This organization gave me an opportunity, and I just had to keep working at it and setting my goals high." Patrick Maroon scored for the Ducks, who lost for the first time in December and missed a chance for a club-record, seven-game winning streak on the road.

You cant be satisfied with that." The teams will meet again at Anaheim on Tuesday night. "These are a huge two games and a huge four points," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "Theyve been kind of running away from the division, and we sort of grabbed them and pulled them back a little.dddddddddddd The next one is going to be another huge game." Burns opened the scoring 1:17 into the game. Joe Pavelski followed his blocked shot with a wraparound try that bounced straight to Burns, who found a crack between Anderson and a Ducks defender for the goal. Burns has eight points in his last seven games against the Ducks. The Sharks scored in the first 90 seconds of a game for the ninth time this season. Jason Demers recovered a loose puck to help set up Coutures goal midway through the first period. Couture beat one defender and then beat Anderson. "Its special because its a big number," Couture said. "I was stuck on 99 for a while." Midway through the second period, Kearns picked up the rebound from Andrew Desjardins shot and easily beat Anderson. "We should have known and played better in the first period," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We didnt meet their push early." Maroon scored his fifth goal in four games midway through the third period, with an assist from Corey Perry. NOTES: The Sharks have taken a 2-0 lead in the first period 14 times this season. .
