Derrick Williams led the Timberwolves with 28 points. Ricky Rubio chipped in 15 and a team-high eight assists for Minnesota, which was outrebounded 52-32.

It took more than four minutes for the Bulls to get on the board but they dominated the remainder of the first half, going up 56-40 on Taj Gibson's basket in the waning seconds. The Timberwolves clawed to within 10 points entering the fourth and continued to rally.

Robinson answered with a 3-pointer and Butler hit three straight free throws - one after a J.J. Barea technical foul - as Chicago built up a safe cushion.
