CHICAGO (AP)\u2014Derrick Rose<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Kyle Korver<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 18 points apiece as the
\nChicago Bulls<\/a> routed the Sacramento Kings<\/a> 132-92 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The win gave the Bulls (50-19) their first 50-win season since 1997-98 and
\nallowed Chicago to remain tied with Boston atop the Eastern Conference. The
\nCeltics beat the New York Knicks<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Carlos Boozer<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 16 points in his return to the Bulls\u2019 lineup after
\nmissing five games with a sprained left ankle. He joined a balanced Bulls attack
\nthat had eight players scoring in double figures in a game that was not close
\nafter the first period.<\/p>\n

Marcus Thornton<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> led the Kings with 25 points.<\/p>\n

With the game well in hand, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was able to rest his
\ntop players. Rose played just 28 minutes, his lowest total of the season. He
\ndidn\u2019t play in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The Bulls shot 61.3 percent from the field. More aggressive from the outset,
\nChicago forced 22 Sacramento turnovers and held a 36-7 edge in fastbreak points.
\nThe Bulls\u2019 points total were a season high.<\/p>\n

The Bulls have won 13 straight at the United Center, their longest home
\nwinning streak since 1997-98. At 31-4, the Bulls have the NBA\u2019s second-best home
\nrecord behind San Antonio (32-3).<\/p>\n

Chicago led by as many as 25 in the third period, reaching that advantage
\nwhen Keith Bogans<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> lobbed a pass toward the rim on a fastbreak and Rose flew in
\nfrom the baseline and dunked it with both hands.<\/p>\n

C.J. Watson\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> steal and alley-oop pass for Ronnie Brewer\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> dunk highlighted
\na 9-2 Bulls run, that pushed the lead to 13 early in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Chicago pushed the lead to 19 points on a pair of 3-pointers by Korver late
\nin the first half and led 64-47 at the break.<\/p>\n

The Bulls shot 66.7 percent in the first half. Thornton scored 18 points for
\nthe Kings in the half.<\/p>\n

Sacramento, which entered the game averaging more turnovers (16.1) than all
\nbut two NBA teams, had 12 miscues in the first 18 minutes, leading to 19 Chicago
\npoints.<\/p>\n

Boozer was aggressive early, taking four shots in the game\u2019s first four
\nminutes. He had six points, two rebounds and three assists in the opening
\nquarter.<\/p>\n

The Bulls led 34-28 after one quarter. Bogans, who entered averaging 4.0
\npoints, scored seven in the first 12 minutes, matching Rose for the team high.<\/p>\n

Rose\u2019s double-pump, reverse dunk on a breakaway gave the Bulls a six-point
\nfirst-quarter lead and ignited the crowd at United Center.<\/p>\n

Thornton led the Kings with nine points in the opening period.<\/p>\n

Notes: Chicago mascot \u201cBenny the Bull\u201d celebrated his birthday. He was
\njoined by mascots flown in from other teams as party of a halftime party. \u2026
\nThe win might have helped the Bulls overcome the painful memory of Sacramento\u2019s
\nlast visit to Chicago. On Dec. 21, 2009, the Kings erased a 35-point third
\nquarter deficit and beat Chicago 102-98. It was the NBA\u2019s biggest comeback in
\nover 13 years. \u2026 The 1997-98 Bulls won their 50th game on March 20, one day
\nbefore this year\u2019s Bulls reached that mark. \u2026 Thornton has scored 20 or more
\npoints in nine of Sacramento\u2019s last 12 games. \u2026 This is the 14th time in
\nfranchise history that the Bulls have won 50 or more games. \u2026 The Bulls
\nimproved to 38-2 when holding teams under 95 points or less this season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
