By Nick Friedell

How it happened: Carlos Boozer played his best game of the young season scoring 16 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. Derrick Rose added 19 and Rip Hamilton chipped in with 16. The Bulls made enough defensive plays to win the game at the end, although Tom Thibodeau still won't be particularly happy with the way his team played.

Boozer was amazing, but Rose's turnovers made me cringe,
