24 points and nine boards in the defeat.
The Thunder ended the first quarter with a 13-0 run to erase a double-digit
deficit and take a 30-28 edge.
But Oklahoma City had big offensive struggles in the second quarter, shooting
just 7-of-22, to fall right back into a hole. The game was still close a few
minutes into the second frame until Chicago pulled ahead with a 15-3 run,
capped by a Rose jumper for a 50-38 advantage.
The Bulls led 56-47 at the break, though late in the third quarter, the
Thunder once again erased a deficit, running off seven straight points to make
it a 62-62 contest.
The Thunder's comeback was helped by the Bulls shooting 5-of-18 in the frame.
Oklahoma City later went ahead by two, but Chicago ended the frame with a
Tyrus Thomas dunk and two Brad Miller free throws to take a 68-66 edge.
Chicago began the final frame with six straight points as its offense came
back to life. Rose scored 12 in the fourth quarter, and his jumper started an
11-2 run that Miller capped with a three for an 85-72 advantage with 6:54 to
play.
The Thunder got within 91-83 on a James Harden three with 2:01 left, but Deng
followed with a trey of his own. Rose then dunked with 51.8 seconds remaining
to essentially seal the win.
