Ben Gordon scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and John Salmons dropped 17 as the Bulls squeeked out a close one against the New Jersey Nets. It's the Bulls 8th win in 11 games.
The seventh-place Bulls now lead Detroit, which lost to Philadelphia, by a half game in the Eastern Conference and are 2 1/2 ahead of Charlotte after a win that was probably more dramatic than it should have been. Chicago led by as many as 16 in the second quarter and never trailed until Brook Lopez hit a short jump hook to make it 94-93 with 2:50 left in the game. But the Nets missed their final eight shots and took their sixth loss in seven games.
