Derrick Rose collected 18 points and eight assists, and Carlos Boozer returned to the lineup with 16 points and five rebounds as the Chicago Bulls crushed the visiting Sacramento Kings 132-92 on Monday.

Luol Deng scored 17 points and Joakim Noah added 14 and nine boards for the Bulls (50-19), who remained tied with Boston for first in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago shot 61.3 percent from the floor, including 12 of 17 from 3-point range, despite having its starters on the bench in the fourth quarter after building a 98-72 lead through three quarters.

The Kings hung around for the first quarter before the Bulls took off on an 18-6 run to start the second and break the game open. They pushed the lead to 64-47 at the half, led by 12 points from Deng, and shot 65 percent.

Boozer, who had missed the previous five games with a sprained left ankle, finished 6 of 10 from the field in 26 minutes.

Marcus Thornton scored 25 points for Sacramento (17-52), which missed a chance to post back-to-back wins for the first time since the end of January.
