CLEVELAND -- One game after he scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, Carlos Boozer found himself sitting on the bench for the entire fourth quarter of Chicago's come-from-behind win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.And Boozer was fine with it. He knows he's a ways from being everything he can be for Chicago, and that his team has yet to jell -- thanks to the fact that he's played only five games after breaking his pinky in the offseason.
"You're out so long, and you miss training camp and you miss 15 games, you're going to be behind a little bit," Boozer said. "But every day I get a little bit better, a little more comfortable."
Boozer saw a familiar sight as he watched: Great plays from Derrick Rose, whose driving layup tied the game at 82 with 39.2 seconds left, and whose driving layup and free throw turned an 83-82 deficit into an 85-83 lead with 19.6 seconds left.
The win was the Bulls 12th in 20 games, and kept them in first place in a weak division in the East. The Bulls have done it for 15 of those games without the guy they spent $75 million to sign in the offseason.
