Chicago Bulls come from behind to beat Denver Nuggets

The Chicago Bulls needed a dominant fourth quarter to secure a 106-101 win over the Denver Nuggets at the United Center in the NBA.

The visitors pulled away before the break thanks to fast starts from Wilson Chandler and Ty Lawson, leaving Denver 11 points ahead by the end of the second quarter.

The hosts hit back at the start of the third though, outscoring the Nuggets 35-21 as Jimmy Butler led the comeback, finishing the game with 26 points.

A late push from Derrick Rose made sure of the win as he added 13 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to ensure that the Nuggets did not edge back in front in the final moments.

The result moves the Bulls onto a 23-10 record, while the Nuggets slip to 13-20, with just four of their wins coming away from home.
