Karl Malone shot 11-15 from the floor on his way to 30 points and 10 rebounds last Wednesday night as Utah crushed Chicago 113-86.
The Bulls hung with the Jazz early, keeping the game tied at 32 at the end of the first quarter. However, they were outplayed throughout the second quarter and trailed 63-53 at the half.
After a slow start to the second half, Chicago cut Utah’s lead to 69-60 midway through the third quarter, but would get no closer.
Elton Brand led the Bulls with 13 points in 21 minutes off the bench and Randy Brown chipped in with 12 points and six assists.
The loss dropped the Bulls to 10-37 on the season and was the second straight night Chicago was blown out.
Last Tuesday, the Bulls were stomped by Sacramento 119-80. Brand led the Bulls with 25 points and 10 rebounds and shot 10-13 field goals. Kukoc added 12 points.
After the game Bulls coach Tim Floyd benched his starting frontcourt for the Utah game.
Chris Webber led the Kings with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Sacramento shot 53 percent form the floor in the game.
