Morning Box Score: Boozer Bust in Bulls Debut

Magic 107, Bulls 78: For the better part of two months, one question about the Bulls was asked: How would they perform with a healthy Carlos Boozer?

No one anticipated the answer being last night's 107-78 rout by Orlando in the Bulls return to the United Center after their "circus trip." The Magic outscored the Bulls 33-15 in the second quarter and never looked back as the Bulls came no closer than 16 the rest of the way. Boozer showed some expected rust, scoring five points in the loss. The Bulls were "led" by Joakim Noah, who scored 16 but pulled down no rebounds. Dwight Howard isn't that dominating in the paint. Derrick Rose added 15 for the Bulls.
