Eight Bulls scored in double figures in this game, led by Derrick Rose and Kyle Korver with 18 each. The Bulls shot 61.3 percent from the field for the game and an astounding 70.6 percent (12-of-17) from behind the 3-point arc. Each of the starters scored at least 14 points &$151 interesting stat: the Bulls are 17-2 when Keith Bogans scores 6 points or more — and showed off their bench depth last night. In addition to Korver's 18, Omer Asik was 6-of-6 from the field for 14 points and C.J. Watson added 11. Carlos Boozer returned from an ankle sprain to score 16 points.
