Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - The Chicago Bulls shot 55.6 percent from the
floor, made nine three-pointers and went 19-of-23 from the foul line en route
to an easy 108-87 win over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night.
But it was not all pretty for the Bulls, who lost star guard Derrick Rose in
the second quarter to lower back spasms. Rose had just four points in nearly
11 minutes of action before leaving.
Carlos Boozer led the way with 24 points, six rebounds and five assists for
Chicago, which improved to 4-2 on a nine-game road trip. Luol Deng added 19
points.
Deron Williams ended with 25 points and five assists for the Nets, who have
lost three in a row. Sundiata Gaines and Jordan Farmar donated 12 and 11
points, respectively.
