Acquired in a seven-player deal with the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, Rose followed his 36-point debut Wednesday with a clutch effort on Friday. He made just 7-of-19 shots but hit all seven of his free throws, including six in the final 27 seconds.

Marcus Fizer had 21 points off the bench and rookie Tyson Chandler added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Bulls, who have won two straight after a four-game slide.

Stephon Marbury led Phoenix with 27 points and Joe Johnson, acquired from the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, added 23.

The Suns had not lost in Chicago since a 111-104 setback on Dec. 15, 1997.
