The Chicago Bulls (33 - 20) defeated the Sacramento Kings (18 - 33) 104 - 86 on Tuesday at the United Center in Chicago. The Bulls got off to a quick start in this one, out - scoring the Kings 57 - 49 in the first half. Along with their quick start, the Bulls also used their superior shooting to grab an advantage, going 53 percent from the field and 35 percent from the three - point line, while the Kings went 47 percent from the floor and a meager 17 percent from beyond the arc. To put the icing on the cake, the Bulls forced the Kings into 13 turnovers, while committing just seven of their own. Continuing his dominance of late, Pau Gasol had another huge game, finishing with 26 points (11 - 15 FG, 4 - 4 FT), 16 rebounds and three assists. Over his last three games he's averaging 24 points and 15 rebounds, while he's also posted 13 double - doubles in a row, so he's shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Derrick Rose also played a big factor in this game, recording 23 points (10 - 17 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), seven assists and two steals. Like Gasol, he's turned it on offensively of late, posting 20 or more points in four of his last five games. Coming off the bench, Tony Snell was also able to surpass the 20 - point mark. He went 9 - for - 11 from the field and 4 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 24 points, to go along with two assists in 41 minutes. Between Gasol, Rose and Snell, they combined to score 73 of the 104 total points from the Bulls. The Kings got the majority of their production from Rudy Gay, who went 10 - for - 18 from the floor and 1 - for - 4 from beyond the arc to score 24 points, to go along with seven rebounds and five assists. After struggling to only four points and just one assist in Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, it was good to see him get things turned back around and have a decent performance. DeMarcus Cousins also played well, finishing with 15 points (5 - 15 FG, 5 - 10 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists. It was the first time in six games that he scored under 20 points and recorded under 10 rebounds, so that may have hurt the Kings chances a little bit. Both Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum reached double figures with 11 points each. It was a nice surprise for McCallum, who had n't scored more than eight points since January sixteenth. The Bulls' next game will be at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, while the Kings will travel to Milwaukee to play the Bucks on Wednesday.
