The host Dallas Mavericks ( 17 - 13 ) defeated the Chicago Bulls ( 16 - 12 ) by a score of 118 - 111 , on Saturday night . The game was a back - and - forth nail - biter , which featured 15 lead changes and was tied 108 - 108 with 2:54 left in the game . Dallas grinded out the last few minutes with some solid defense , including a big steal which led to a basket that put them up by four with 50 seconds left . The Bulls then gave up an unforced turnover on a five - second inbound violation that destroyed their chance of victory . Chicago came into this game after a solid win on Christmas day and while they are still missing two big pieces in Joakim Noah and Mike Dunleavy , being short - handed on this second night of a back - to - back could be part of the reason why they collapsed late in the fourth . Five players scored in double digits for the Bulls . The high - point man was Derrick Rose , who finished with 25 points ( 12 - 20 FG ) , five rebounds and four assists , in 36 minutes . Nikola Mirotic poured in 23 points on strong 6 - 10 shooting from the field ( 4 - 7 3PT , 7 - 11 FT ) , along with seven rebounds , three blocks , two steals and one assist , in 40 minutes . Pau Gasol finished with 18 points ( 7 - 10 FG , 4 - 4 FT ) , nine rebounds , three assists and three blocks , in 38 minutes . The Bulls starters were forced to play a lot of minutes in this one , which again could have affected their play late in the game . Chicago did however shoot a strong 53 percent from the field . Dallas also had six players score in double digits . J.J. Barea had a fantastic game filling in at starting PG for the injured Deron Williams . Barea finished with 26 points , while shooting a brilliant 7 - 8 from behind the arc , along with five assists , in 32 minutes . Chandler Parsons dropped in 20 points ( 8 - 15 FG , 2 - 5 3Pt ) , five rebounds , five assists and two steals , in 35 minutes off the bench . Zaza Pachulia tallied a solid double - double with 17 points and 12 rebounds , in 29 minutes . The Mavericks shot 48 percent from long range and hit 22 - 28 free throws . With this win Dallas is now 6 - 6 against the East . Next Dallas will host Milwaukee on Monday and look to go above .500 against the pesky East . The Bulls will have their hands full once again , as they host Toronto on Monday for what should be a great Eastern Conference battle .
