Bulls 108, Timberwolves 91

Two-star performance: Carlos Boozer produced 24 points and 14 rebounds. Derrick Rose added 23 points and 10 assists as the Bulls cruised to an easy victory.

Not enough Love: NBA rebound leader Kevin Love returned from three games off with a groin injury, but he grabbed just 9 boards to go with 16 points. Bulls center Joakim Noah took the night off to rest a mild sprained ankle.

Sit back and watch: With the Bulls 2½ games ahead of Boston and Miami for first place in the East, the Bulls will watch the Celtics tackle back-to-back road games in San Antonio and Atlanta the next two days.
