The No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference was secured by the Chicago Bulls by defeating Cleveland Cavaliers 93-82 with the assist of a 24-point and 11-rebound performance from Carlos Boozer.

Derrick Rose added 11 points and eight assists for the Bulls, while Ronnie Brewer had 12 points. For the first time, the Bulls won all the games in the season series from Cleveland, ever since winning all four meetings in the 1995-96 regular season.

Through the first three rounds of the National Basketball Association playoffs, the Bulls will have home-court benefit. Chicago has now won 18 of the last 20 games. This was their six successive win. From the time when the Michael Jordan-led team of 1997-98, the Bulls had not finished with the best record in the East.

With 22 points and 15 rebounds, J.J. Hickson led the Cavaliers. For the league’s most awful record, Cleveland Cavaliers dropped into a tie with Minnesota.

Point guard Derrick Rose had a quiet game with 11 points and eight assists, while Boozer had 24 points and 11 rebounds Friday. Rose remains the desired one to capture the league’s MVP Award.

Chicago will have home-court benefit through the first three rounds of the playoffs, which has won six straight and 18 of 20.

The Bulls has six players score in double figures and they are winners of 9 of 10 on the road.
