Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings

The Chicago Bulls demolished the Sacramento Kings by 40 points on Monday night 132-92. The Bulls dominated the Kings throughout the game and the Bulls also had 8 players score in double figures. The Chicago Bulls looked to grab the top spot in the East with this victory, but the Boston Celtics would come back on the now struggling New York Knicks to keep their slight edge on the Bulls for the number one seed. The Bulls had Carlos Boozer back for this game and they took little time to get him into the mix. Boozer finished with 16 points and 5 rebounds. A huge player to get back for the Bulls in Boozer as that takes a lot of pressure off Derrick Rose and lets him be a facilitator instead of a scorer at all times. Derrick finished with 18 points and 8 assists, a relatively quiet night for the MVP front runner. The Bulls went into half-time leading 64-47 and they never looked back, all of the Bulls starters sat out the fourth quarter and the bench production was solid. Kyle Korver had 18 points and Omer Asik had 14 points off the bench for the Bulls. The Bulls won their 50th game of the season, and that is the first time they have reached 50 wins since the Jordan era in the 97-98 season. Up next for the Bulls is a date with the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
