The Bulls are 20-39. Minnesota is 37-26.
The Bulls came back from an early deficit to lead at halftime and trail by just four points going into the fourth quarter. But with one of seven Bulls shooting and a pair of turnovers to open the fourth quarter, Minnesota started with a 13-1 run and dominated the rest of the game.
