If only the Bulls could bottle what they had Tuesday night. Or better yet, if only they could play the 76ers every night.

If only the Bulls could bottle what they had Tuesday night. Or better yet, if only they could play the 76ers every night.
The Bulls got right back to their winning ways, after having their seven game win streak snapped just a few days ago.
After a so-so start, the Bulls were given a shot of energy by the debut of Carlos Boozer. In Boozer's first nine games as a Bull, the team is 7-2 and all seven wins came in a row.
It was the first game the Bulls were without Joakim Noah and they trailed most of the game against the Clippers. Chicago made a push to comeback in the fourth , falling short by one point. If that's not enough bad news, Taj Gibson left the game during the third with a concussion.
LeBron James joining the Miami Heat was the signature moment during the free-agent rush last summer. However, it wasn't the only move that has shaken up the Eastern Conference standings early this season.
It's never easy, is it? All the fear about Derrick Rose getting hurt, and now this. Just as Carlos Boozer is rounding into form after recovering from that vicious gym-bag attack, Joakim Noah's possible All-Star season is derailed by injured thumb ligaments that require surgery.
Derrick Rose isn't the only Bulls' player that will be battling an injury in tonight's game against the Toronto Raptors.
Ok, that's three now. Three times Derrick Rose has launched himself skyward in an NBA game, only to have his flight altered at its peak, causing a crash to the unforgiving floor.
Carlos Boozer's return has sparked the Bulls to a hot streak. They've won six of their last eight games, including six in a row.
Derrick Rose says he hardly slept Monday night and that he felt like an NFL player after a game. Rose took a pounding in the win over the Pacers and after literally limping out of the locker room went home and soaked in a tub for hours.
As the number one overall pick in the NBA Draft, Derrick Rose came into the league with high expectations. He met those expectations by winning the league's Rookie of the Year Award. Rose took another step his sophomore season by being named to the NBA All-Star team.
Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 18 rebounds to lead Chicago to a 92-73 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, the Bulls' sixth straight win.
Carlos Boozer's Bulls debut wasn't exactly what anyone expected. The Bulls suffered their worst loss of the season and followed it up with an overtime loss in Boston two days later. But since then the Bulls have won five straight games.
Derrick Rose continues to dominate the court for the Bulls as he led Chicago over the Timberwolves Saturday night. This is the Bulls' fifth straight victory.
The Bulls have won three games in a row, despite their last win being one of their worst performances of the season.
I have never doubted that Derrick Rose would be an NBA star. Going back to the silly arguments about whether the Bulls would be better served selecting Rose or Michael Beasley with the top pick in 2008, I have always felt he was a sure bet.
While the Bulls are on a three-game winning streak, they almost lost to Cleveland. Chicago pulled ahead for good with under 40 seconds left in the game and won by five points.
After two consecutive wins, the Bulls travel to Cleveland to try and make it three in a row against LeBron James' old team.
The biggest question Bulls fans had about Carlos Boozer, after Chicago acquired the talented power forward via a sign-and-trade deal with the Utah Jazz back in July, was not his ability to perform on the basketball court.
Derrick Rose has established himself as one of the premier point guards in the NBA. He's capable of not only creating opportunities for his teammates, but also creating for himself.
You're starting to see why the Bulls signed Carlos Boozer and you're also starting to see how he makes a difference. Boozer posted his first double double in a Bulls uniform as he and his teammates defeated Oklahoma City 99-90.
