Carlos Boozer called the role reduction “challenging” but said he still sets a double-double as his goal. Boozer finished with six points and four rebounds against the Timberwolves.

“I’ve just adjusted,” he said. “I’m doing whatever I can to help my team in the minutes I’m out there. I’m being a team player. It’s all about winning. You make sacrifices for the betterment of the group. That’s what we’re all doing.

“Each night, there are different challenges depending on matchups and how often you touch the ball because that varies. But the intensity is always there. The passion is always there. Playing hard to win is always there. The numbers may vary, but the winning part is always there.”

Boozer reiterated he has tuned out talk of the Bulls likely using the amnesty provision on him this summer for salary-cap relief.
