Oakland -- Stephen Curry had 21 points and 10 assists, Monta Ellis scored 26 points and the Golden State Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls 99-91 on Monday, giving rookie coach Mark Jackson his first victory at any level. David Lee added 22 points and seven rebounds and Dominic McGuire made three free throws in the final 47 seconds to seal the win for Golden State. Luol Deng, whose block of Kobe Bryant as time expired sealed Chicago's season-opening 88-87 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who trailed by as much as 19 before making a late charge to get within 96-91 with 36.3 seconds remaining. Derrick Rose had an off night shooting and finished with 13 points for Chicago. The reigning MVP went 4 of 17 from the field and missed poorly on a pair of 3-pointers in the closing stages, including an airball with 25.9 seconds left. Kyle Korver made a pair of 3-pointers in a 14-second span to pull Chicago within 96-91 but the Bulls couldn't get closer than that. |
