New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Carlos Boozer scored 18 points and the
Chicago Bulls barely needed Derrick Rose in an easy 90-67 win over the New
Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
The Hornets lost their seventh game in a row and needed a three-pointer from
Marco Belinelli with 0.5 seconds left to avoid a franchise-low in points
scored.
Indeed, the game started and ended as a laugher: Actor and comedian Will
Ferrell, in town shooting a movie, handled the intros for both teams before
the game.
Rose, who left Monday's win over New Jersey with lower back spasms, played
only 22 minutes and sat the entire fourth quarter. He had six points, six
assists and five rebounds as the Bulls won their fourth straight game.
They moved to 5-2 on a nine-game road trip that ends with visits to Charlotte
and Boston.
