Bulls halt Pacers鈥 win streak
Print Edition
Britain’s Luol Deng scored 23 points and Derrick Rose added 20 in his return from injury on Saturday to power the Chicago Bulls over previously unbeaten Indiana 110-94.
The Pacers, who fell to 9-1, had been the National Basketball Association’s last undefeated team and the first club to win so many games to start a season since the Dallas Mavericks won 14 in 2002.
But a night after Indiana ripped Milwaukee, the hosts Bulls outplayed the Pacers from the start, seizing a 31-20 lead after the first quarter and a 60-35 half-time advantage.
Chicago’s biggest lead of the night was 33 points before the Bulls (5-3) benched their stars and left the reserves to finish off their fourth win in a row.
Bulls playmaker Rose, who had not practiced since injuring his right hamstring in a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last Monday, was named a starter shortly before the game and showed he was ready to return with a solid performance, hitting 6-of-11 shots from 3-point range and 7-of-16 overall in 31 minutes on the court.
Roy Hibbert had 14 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Pacers.
Also, Dwight Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2-1/2-minute stretch, to lead the Houston Rockets to a 122-11 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Elsewhere, it was: Mavericks 108, Magic 100; Cavaliers 103, Wizards 96 (in overtime); Heat 97, Bobcats 81; Hawks 110, Knicks 90; Timberwolves 106, Celtics 88; Pelicans 135, 76ers 98; Thunder 92, Bucks 79; Warriors 102, Jazz 88; and Clippers 110, Nets 103.
