Memphis, Tennessee–DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Andre Drummond added 21 points and 13 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 118-110 in the NBA on Thursday night.
Nikola Vucevic added 20 points and 10 rebounds and Coby White also scored 20 for the Bulls, who won their second straight and third of four. Drummond went 10 of 11 from the field.
The Bulls had centers Drummond and Vucevic on the floor together for significant minutes, and the pair dominated inside, contributing to Chicago out-rebounding Memphis 46-34.
“We’re a force together in the paint,” Drummond said. “It makes teams deal with us on both ends of the court. I really like that lineup, and I look forward to more of it.”
Bulls coach Billy Donovan said playing the two big men together creates a scouting problem for opponents. He said the team has worked on the unconventional lineup in recent days.
“Those two guys are very good together,” Donovan said. “They know how to play off each other, but it’s the other spacing around those guys that has to be better.
