MILWAUKEE, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Kirk Hinrich scored 12 of his season-high 31 points in the final 6 minutes Wednesday and Chicago pulled away late to defeat Milwaukee 113-104.
The game was tied midway through the fourth quarter before Hinrich made a layup and a 3-pointer on back-to-back possessions.
Chicago picked up the victory on the day the Bulls made a six-player trade with Sacramento. Chicago acquired center Brad Miller and forward John Salmons from the Kings for forwards Andres Nocioni, Cedric Simmons and Michael Ruffin, along with center Drew Gooden.
Luol Deng added 21 points for the Bulls, winners out two out of three, and Derrick Rose had 18.
Milwaukee, which had a three-game winning streak halted, got 32 points from Richard Jefferson and 17 from Charlie Villanueva.
Chicago has downed the Bucks in nine of their last 11 meetings.
