The Denver Nuggets defeated the Chicago Bulls, 125 - 107, at United Center on Tuesday evening. The surprising victory may have well have been one of the best road victories for the Nuggets (27 - 33) this season, considering the environment and quality of opponent. Denver accomplished the rather improbable feat with a stellar offensive effort that saw seven players post double - digit scoring and the team collectively shoot an outstanding 56 percent from the floor and 43 percent from three - point range. Chicago's cause was significantly undermined by an atypically poor shooting night from Jimmy Butler, who posted only eight points on a 3 - of - 13 tally from the floor. Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets with 22 points, three rebounds and one steal. Wilson Chandler followed with 20 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block. Nikola Jokic bounced back after some recent modest games by his lofty standards, exploding for a 19 - point, 16 - rebound, 10 - assist triple - double that also included one block. Gary Harris went for 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Will Barton matched Harris' point total while leading the second unit and added eight boards, three assists, two steals and one block. Jameer Nelson managed 12 points, two rebounds and one assist. Jamal Murray tallied 14 points, three assists and two rebounds over 18 efficient minutes off the bench. Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo paced the Bulls (30 - 30) with matching 19 - point efforts, with the latter achieving his scoring in 24 minutes off the bench. Wade added six assists and four rebounds, while Rondo dished out five assists, hauled in four boards and recorded three steals. Bobby Portis stepped up with 12 points, six rebounds, one assist and three steals. Robin Lopez supplied 10 points, four assists, three boards and two blocks. Butler supplemented his aforementioned scoring total with four rebounds, three assists and three steals. The Nuggets continue their trek through the Midwest with a Wednesday night showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks, while the Bulls remain home and await the Golden State Warriors on Thursday evening.
