NBA: Chicago 83, Milwaukee 81

CHICAGO (UPI) -- Derrick Rose capped a 9-0 run with a fourth-quarter dunk Tuesday, sparking the Chicago Bulls to an 83-81 victory over Milwaukee.

Rose scored 16 points and Luol Deng added 24 points and pulled down a career-high 20 rebounds for the Bulls, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Brad Miller added 13 points with seven rebounds and Jannero Pargo scored 10 for Chicago.

Milwaukee was led by Brandon Jennings with 25 points, while Andrew Bogut poured in 16 and grabbed 13 boards. Hakim Warrick and Charlie Bell added 10 points each for the Bucks, who fell to 1-2 while without their top scorer, guard Michael Redd, who is expected to be out at least two weeks with knee soreness.

Pargo connected on a 3-pointer to help the Bulls get their first lead of the game, 75-68, with 4:46 left in the fourth quarter.
