DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond lead Bulls past Grizzlies 118-110

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Andre Drummond added 21 points and 13 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 118-110 on Thursday night.

Nikola Vucevic had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Coby White also scored 20 for the Bulls, who won their second straight and third of four. Drummond went 10 of 11 from the field.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 28 points for the Grizzlies before fouling out in the fourth quarter. GG Jackson added 27 points and Santi Aldama scored 15. Vince Williams Jr. had 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for Memphis, which lost its seventh straight.

As has been the case several times this season, Memphis couldn't hold a fourth-quarter lead with its makeshift lineup.

Neither team led by double digits and Memphis had an 81-80 edge entering the fourth. The Grizzlies extended their lead to six points, but the Bulls took control with a 19-6 burst for a 104-97 lead.

The Grizzlies have used 31 starting lineups with 18 players having started at least once this season. Earlier Thursday, Memphis traded forward David Roddy to the Suns.

Jaren Jackson returned for the Grizzlies after missing the previous two games with right hip soreness. He had 13 points in the first quarter and 18 at halftime.

Memphis held a 56-52 lead at the break despite the Bulls shooting 55% for the half, with Drummond making all five of his shots. Chicago hurt its cause with 10 first-half turnovers.
