Chicago: Tony Snell scored 16 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter as the Chicago Bulls improved to 12-5 at home with a 104-97 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Pau Gasol, Derrick Rose and Snell combined for 64 points as five players reached double figures for the Bulls, who collected their second NBA victory in three games.
Forward Gasol scored 22 points and pulled down seven rebounds while Rose contributed 20 points and four assists for Chicago (17-12). Rose has now registered back-to-back 20 point games for the first time this season.
“It started with him,” said Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg. “You can tell he’s getting his legs where he wants them. “Hopefully that’s the Derrick Rose we’ll see from here on out. We’re a pretty good team when we can attack with that type of pace.”
Raptors guard Kyle Lowry led all scorers with 28 points on nine-for-15 shooting. Guard DeMar DeRozan added 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for Toronto, who dropped to 19-13.
Toronto dropped its sixth consecutive contest against the Bulls. The Raptors have not beaten Chicago since Golden State’s Stephen Curry overcame a slow start to score 23 points as part of his sixth career triple-double, leading the Warriors to a 122-103 victory over Sacramento on Monday and its 29th win this NBA season.
San Antonio had six players score in double figures to beat Minnesota 101-95. San Antonio joined the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets as the only Western Conference teams to open 18-0 at home in this season.
