Rose a thorn in Utah side

Rose scored 11 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter and made key plays in the closing minutes to help team mate Boozer come out on top in his first game against Utah since signing with Chicago as a free agent for this season.

Boozer had spent the previous six seasons with the Jazz.

Al Jefferson tallied a team-high 26 points and Williams recorded 11 points and 12 assists for Utah (31-23), but he also committed three critical turnovers in the final minute as the home team fell to their second loss in three games.

Rose made two free throws with 13 seconds left to give Chicago (35-16) an 89-86 lead and Williams made an errant pass on Utah's final possession to end their chances.
