The Kings, who are trying to make a jump after six straight losing seasons, got 15 points from Marcus Thornton and 14 from DeMarcus Cousins.
This time last year, the Bulls were eyeing a championship run. Now, with their superstar sidelined, there's a different vibe around Chicago.
The mood changed when Rose crashed to the court late in the Bulls' playoff-opening win over Philadelphia, sending the Bulls spiraling toward a first-round exit and casting a huge cloud over a team that many saw as the biggest threat to Miami in the Eastern Conference.
To many, they're treading water until Rose returns. The Bulls, of course, don't see it that way.
NOTES: Bulls F Taj Gibson did not expect to agree to a contract extension before the deadline late Wednesday night. Asked before the game if he's turning down the Bulls' offer, Gibson said that's "the way I see it." Without an extension, he becomes a restricted free agent. The Bulls would have the right to match any offer he receives from another team. ... The Bulls appointed Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen senior adviser to president and chief operating officer Michael Reinsdorf. Pippen has been serving as a team ambassador. In a statement issued Wednesday, Reinsdorf said the new title will "better reflect his role with the Bulls."
