ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carlos Boozer scored 16 points and Kirk Hinrich and Taj Gibson added 15 each to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 106-87 preseason victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
Derrick Rose added 13 points for Chicago (2-0).
Jerryd Bayless scored 15 points for Memphis (0-1) while Ed Davis had 13.
