Rose was out with turf toe, but the Bulls bounced back in the 2nd game of yet another back-to-back to remain undefeated at home. It started out as a fast paced game in the first quarter with both team running back and forth. The Suns were lead by Steve Nash and the Bulls had Hamilton returning from his groin injury. Boozer finished with 31 pts, mostly in the hot 1st half. CJ Watson, who al;so returned from injury put up 23 pts. Deng added 15 and Noah might be out of his slump with a double-double. It wasn't the typical Bulls' defensive game, but that's OK. It's good that they're learning to win in different ways. They played the Sun's style and beat them at their own game.

This puts the Bulls at 13-3. Miami also won last night, taking the game from the Spurs in the 2nd half. So they remain tied in the loss column. The Bulls get their first 2-day rest of the season. They will return on Friday to face Cleveland. I imagine Rose will sit that one out as well since it's not a tough team.
