Morning Box Score: Bulls Balanced Attack Beats Bobcats, Hawks Struck By Lightning

Add Michael Jordan to the growing list of current and former players proclaiming Derrick Rose NBA MVP. Jordan made his proclamation after the Bulls' 101-84 win over his Charlotte Bobcats.

Kyle Korver matched Rose with 20 points of his own, while Taj Gibson added 14 and Ronnie Brewer 10. Gibson might be back in a starting role, depending on the severity of Carlos Boozer's sprained ankle.
