Bulls 94, Nuggets 92: Tom Thibodeau's defensive philosophy paid dividends last night, as the Bulls executed on both sides of the court to beat Denver at the United Center.

All five Bulls starters scored in double figures, led by Derrick Rose's 18 points and 6 assists. Joakim Noah added 13 points and grabbed 19 rebounds for another double double, which seems to be becoming commonplace for the Bulls center. Denver's Carmelo Anthony led all scorers with 32 points.
