Late Butler jumper gives Bulls 98-96 win

The Bulls snapped a 4-game losing straight and gave their season a glimmer of hope with a 98-96 win over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.

In a 4th quarter that featured both teams going ice cold, it was Jimmy Butler who stepped up to play the hero, hitting a 12-foot pullup jumper with three seconds left to break a tie and give the Bulls an important road win with 8 games left in the season.

The Bulls (37-37) made up a game on the Pacers (39-35) in the playoff race and took the season-series tiebreaker over the Pacers with the win.
