The Chicago Bulls (8 - 3) defeated the Phoenix Suns (6 - 5) 103 - 97 thanks to the Butler hitting some big shots. It's rare to see a team lose a turnover battle 19 - 12 and win a game, but that's just what the Bulls did on Wednesday. Chicago shot just shy of 50 percent from the field while Phoenix shot just above 40 percent. The three - point shooting was the big difference though, as the Bulls went 9 - for - 19 while the Suns went 8 - for - 27. Jimmy Butler was the hero in this game though, as he scored 14 points in the final 12 minutes. The Bulls played this game without an ailing Derrick Rose and didn’t miss a beat. They went with a Kirk Hinrich-Aaron Brooks committee and that worked out well for Chicago as they combined for 26 points and 11 assists in the win. Butler was the star of the show though, as he tallied 32 points and six rebounds in the victory while playing a Tom Thibodeau-like 43 minutes. Brooks did end up leaving this game with a hamstring injury and they ca n't afford to lose any more guards at this point. Chicago’s next game should be a fun one, as they travel to Golden State to take on the undefeated Warriors on Friday. The Suns were down big early in this game and showed some perseverance to make it a close game at the end. It was the frontcourt once again that let down Phoenix, as Markieff Morris and Tyson Chandler combined for just 12 points in the loss. This is a trend that is becoming all too common for the Suns and they simply need more from these two, especially against teams like the Bulls. Brandon Knight led the team in scoring with 23 points, while Eric Bledsoe and P.J. Tucker each pitched in 20 - plus points of their own. This snapped a three - game winning streak for the Suns and they'll look to start a new one on Friday against the Denver Nuggets.
