Bulls Topple Knicks

DeMar DeRozan scored 31 points, Zach LaVine added 21 and the Chicago Bulls rallied in the fourth quarter for a 109-103 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night.

 

Coby White scored 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter as Chicago won its second straight and fourth in five games.

 

Julius Randle had 34 points on 13-for-18 shooting for New York.

 

The Knicks won the first meeting between the teams on Oct. 28 in Chicago.

 

After trailing by as many as six points in the third quarter and 74-72 heading into the fourth, the Bulls opened the final quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers by White and Derrick Jones Jr. to grab a 78-74 edge.

 

For White, it was his first 3-pointer since being activated Nov. 15 following offseason left shoulder surgery. He had scored a total of two points on 1-for-11 shooting in his first three games.

 

Nikola Vucevic, who's been out with COVID-19 since Nov. 11, has emerged from isolation under the league's health and safety protocols and rejoined the team on Sunday. When he is able to play in a game remains unclear.

 

The Bulls host the Indiana Pacers tonight.
