The Chicago Bulls (17 - 9) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (21 - 5) 103 - 97 on Friday. Chicago has won two straight and five of their last six games. Derrick Rose has sat out their last two wins, with Jimmy Butler picking up the slack, and some. Butler scored a game - high 31 points, nearly matching the career - high 35 points he scored in Thursday's win over the Knicks. Taj Gibson (ankle) missed a second straight game, and in his place, Nikola Mirotic put up a career - high 27 points ad six three - pointers off the bench. Aaron Brooks also chipped in with 17 points in 32 minutes off the bench. Chicago's schedule continues to feed them tough match - ups. They'll host the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Memphis had their six - game win streak snapped with the loss. Tony Allen sat out a second straight game with a scractched eye. While the Grizzlies used Quincy Pondexter as Allen's replacement in the staring lineup in their 117 - 116 triple - overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, Tayshaun Prince moved into the starting lineup over Pondexter on Friday. Prince put up eight points in 24 minutes. Mike Conley scored a team - high 21 points, but the Grizzlies shot just 39 percent from the field and 15 percent from beyond the arc.
