The Bulls continue to rack up points and victories despite injuries to Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, among others.

"We jokingly had a conversation on the plane one day," Carlos Boozer said. "Our biggest problem is we may be too unselfish. What a great problem to have. But think about it: We've got subs who easily can start for other teams. And they've accepted roles because they know they're part of a great team. Our team spirit is about one thing and that's winning.”

Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, Mike James, C.J. Watson and Taj Gibson all have started regularly at some point in their careers.

"Everybody asks me about my numbers,” Boozer said. “Who cares about numbers? Are you kidding me? We're (15-3). That's the number that matters. A lot of us could be averaging 25 points on another team if we got to shoot 25 times a night. But we're balanced. And all that matters is our record.

"Our leaders are unselfish. Derrick could shoot any time he wanted to. He could be Allen Iverson and shoot 30 times a night. He doesn't. That trickles down to the entire team.”
