CHICAGO (AP) — Deron Williams got the better of Derrick Rose, finishing with 28 points and a season-high 17 assists, while CJ Miles scored a season-best 26 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a 132-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Williams threw down a hard dunk on Rose during a 13-1 run late in the third quarter that broke a 77-all tie and sent Utah to its 22nd win in 27 games. Miles scored 18 in the fourth, hitting four of his six 3-pointers, as the Jazz outscored Chicago 40-27 and secured at least a .500 record for the 26th time in 27 years.
With 25 points and 13 assists, Rose didn’t exactly get dominated in a matchup of star point guards. But the Bulls tied a season high with their fifth straight loss even though Brad Miller scored 20.
