DERRICK Rose, who took last season's Most Valuable Player award, returned to the Chicago line-up on Friday and paced the league leading Bulls to an 88-79 victory over the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden.
Rose sat out the Bulls' win over Washington on Wednesday with a sprained big left toe, and after a slow start on Friday he finished with a game-high 25 points and added seven assists.
The Celtics (4-6) struggled through a horrendous first half scoring on just 33 percent of their shots while the Bulls (11-2) sprinted to a 52-33 lead.
"The great players find a way," Rose told reporters of playing through the pain. "I want to be great. This is something I have to fight through. It's not stopping me."
Slow starts have been a recurring theme in the Celtics' current three game losing stretch, all at home.
Elsewhere in NBA action, it was: Spurs 99, Trail Blazers 83; Lakers 97, Nuggets 117, Heat 104; Cavaliers 92; Pacers 95, Raptors 90; Mavericks 102, Bucks 76; 76ers 120, Wizards 89; Rockets 103, Kings 89; Timberwolves 87, Hornets 80; Nets 110, Suns 103; and Pistons 98, Bobcats 81.
