The Chicago Bulls get a huge lift seeing both Derrick Rose the Three Stripes "Boost" Hero and Nike Basketball's Pau Gasol back in the line up. That plus the usual dose of the "See Red" Butler Jimmy Butler taking care of all those chores for Bulls Nation puts See Red back into the win column after talking the last two on the proverbial "Chin"!

Chicago led 30-14 after one racing out to a huge lead knowing they had to as the new Salt Palace dba Energy Solutions Center is one of the toughest venues to play in he Logo every season. That lead ballooned to as big as 21 points at 45-24 before the Bulls settled for a 56-41 halftime lead. Butler 16 points, Rose 13 points, and Gasol ten points heading into halftime for See Red!  

That 3rd frame saw the Jazz run off a 36-22 frame led by the Jazz starters accounting for 29 of that 36.  The Bulls never in trouble as they lay their hat on the defensive end went nip and tuck onto to find themselves in a 93-93 tie at the two-minute mark.

Rose made a free throw only to see Jazz PF/C Enes Kanter gets a dunk as he put the Jazz up 95-94 with a minute and a half to go. Bloodline Mike Dunleavy then gets a lay-up with 22 seconds remaining to give See Red a 96-95 lead. The Jazz Derrick Favors missed then with Gasol adding a free throw but missing the back end of two shots the Bulls led 97-95.

Jazz drew up a potential game-winning Money ball for Gordon Hayward and it was short...Bulls win 97-95. Butler had a game-high 25 points with nine boards. Gasol added 23 points and nine boards as well with D-Rose adding 18 points and five helpers. Bulls move to 9-5 and 2-2 on the 2K14 Circus Trip with the Mile High Nugs on tap for Tuesday in Denver.
