The Denver Nuggets are practically fighting to not be at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, while the Chicago Bulls are following an opposite trajectory in the East.
Thursday night, the two teams clashed in the windy city and Derrick Rose and company brought out the big play action. Aside from Pau Gasol‘s nine blocks, both Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson struck in the 4th quarter with highlight reels of their own. Butler finished with a monster alley-oop, while Gibson climbed a ladder to put back a dunk with power.
The Bulls won the game 106-101 and currently sit at the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.
