Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deron Williams poured in 28 points with a game-
best 17 assists, as Utah used a big fourth quarter to pull away from Chicago,
132-108, at the United Center.
C.J. Miles scored 26 points off the bench, including six treys, while Carlos
Boozer notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds and Paul Millsap
came within a rebound of joining him with 16 points and nine boards. Mehmet
Okur chipped in with 14 points and seven boards, while Andrei Kirilenko joined
Wesley Matthews with 12 points apiece in the win.
The surging Jazz have won 10 of their last 12 road games in the first of a
four-game road trip. Utah moved within one game of idle Denver in the race for
the Northwest Division crown.
Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 25 points and 13 assists, Brad Miller scored
20 and Luol Deng and Ronald Murray totaled 14 points apiece for the Bulls, who
have lost five straight to fall back below .500.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair with Utah scoring seven of the
last eight points to open a 35-30 edge. Utah maintained its small edge for
most of the second quarter, but climbed to a seven-point edge behind a quick
six-point flurry for a 63-56 game. However, a Miller three and Murray layup
capped the first-half scoring for a 63-61 margin.
The game was tied at 77-77 as late as the 5:20 mark of the third quarter, but
Utah used a 15-4 spurt to end the period and begin to turn the game into a
rout. The Jazz tallied seven straight points for an 84-77 lead on Boozer's two
free throws, and the edge grew to 92-81 by the end of the quarter on Matthews'
two free throws with 21.5 ticks remaining.
The Bulls scored five points in a nine-second span early in the fourth capped
by Hakim Warrick's slam for a 92-86 game, but Chicago never got closer than
that the rest of the way. The margin was as narrow as nine with just over six
minutes left, 108-99, on Rose's driving layup, but over the next four-plus
minutes, Utah went on a 21-7 stretch to pull away.
