Chicago bench player Torrey Craig was also
called for a tech, all of which resulted in a one Jordan
Clarkson free throw that tied the score at 117-117 with 9.3 to

the Bulls' 13 first-half 3-pointers.
White and Alex Caruso drained back-to-back 3s to help Chicago
take a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter.
Utah pulled within two at 101-99 with 7:32 left after Omer
Yurtseven hit a jumper, capping a 16-8 surge to open the
quarter.
DeRozan answered with a couple of layups and Vucevic made a
tip-in as the Bulls regained an eight-point edge.
Down 111-104, the Jazz roared back with seven straight on a
Sexton 3-pointer, a Sensabaugh pull-up jumper and a Clarkson
dunk to tie it 111-111 with 2:30 remaining.
Sexton then put Utah ahead 114-112 with a 3-pointer on the
Jazz's next possession.
