CHICAGO, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Derrick Rose registered a double-double of 18 points and 11 assists Saturday, helping stake the Chicago Bulls to a 77-64 win over Toronto.
The Bulls broke open a close game in the second half thanks, in part, to Carlos Boozer's 17 points and 13 rebounds.

The Raptors missed leading scorer Andrea Bargnani, who was out for the second straight game with a strained left calf.
Leandro Barbosa and DeMar DeRozan each netted 15 points, but it wasn't enough to prevent Toronto's sixth loss in seven games.
