NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Derrick Rose scored 23 points for Chicago Saturday and the Bulls buried New Orleans in the second half for a 97-88 victory.

Rose got 13 of his points in the final two periods when Chicago shot 64.5 percent from the field and outscored the Hornets 55-35 to recover from an 11-point halftime deficit.

Carlos Boozer complemented Rose's production with 17 points as the Bulls improved to 3-2 on their road trip. Kurt Thomas and Omer Asik hit the boards hard for Chicago, pulling down 11 rebounds each.

Reserve Marcus Thornton's season-high 24 points was the best the Hornets could do offensively.
