The Chicago Bulls ( 8 - 3 ) defeated the Phoenix Suns ( 6 - 5 ) 103 - 97 thanks to the Butler hitting some big shots . It 's rare to see a team lose a turnover battle 19 - 12 and win a game , but that 's just what the Bulls did on Wednesday . Chicago shot just shy of 50 percent from the field while Phoenix shot just above 40 percent . The three - point shooting was the big difference though , as the Bulls went 9 - for - 19 while the Suns went 8 - for - 27 . Jimmy Butler was the hero in this game though , as he scored 14 points in the final 12 minutes . The Bulls played this game without an ailing Derrick Rose and did n't miss a beat . They went with a Kirk Hinrich-Aaron Brooks committee and that worked out well for Chicago as they combined for 26 points and 11 assists in the win . Butler was the star of the show though , as he tallied 32 points and six rebounds in the victory while playing a Tom Thibodeau-like 43 minutes . Brooks did end up leaving this game with a hamstring injury and they ca n't afford to lose any more guards at this point . Chicago 's next game should be a fun one , as they travel to Golden State to take on the undefeated Warriors on Friday . The Suns were down big early in this game and showed some perseverance to make it a close game at the end . It was the frontcourt once again that let down Phoenix , as Markieff Morris and Tyson Chandler combined for just 12 points in the loss . This is a trend that is becoming all too common for the Suns and they simply need more from these two , especially against teams like the Bulls . Brandon Knight led the team in scoring with 23 points , while Eric Bledsoe and P.J . Tucker each pitched in 20 - plus points of their own . This snapped a three - game winning streak for the Suns and they 'll look to start a new one on Friday against the Denver Nuggets .
