Jazz jump on Bulls early

By K.C. Johnson

Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro has been lamenting opponents' high field-goal percentages of late.

And then Utah shoots 60.9 percent in seizing a 35-30 lead after one quarter Tuesday night at the United Center.

The Bulls shot 66.7 percent but it didn't matter as the Bulls' defense struggled to contain penetration and close out on shooters again. Of course, Utah's ball movement is among the best in the league, as evidenced by the Jazz's 11 assists on 14 field goals.

Wesley Matthews Jr. and Deron Williams each have eight points to lead the Jazz. Derrick Rose matched that point total to lead the Bulls.
