CHICAGO, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Derrick Rose had 22 points, eight rebounds and seven assists Saturday night to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 105-102 win over the Houston Rockets.

The Bulls used a fourth-quarter rally to end the Rockets' six-game winning streak.

Tyrus Thomas had 19 points and nine rebounds, Ben Gordon had 16 points and Joakim Noah finished with 10 points and 15 rebounds for Chicago.

Ron Artest scored 32 points for the Rockets, who had beaten the Bulls six straight times. Yao Ming had 17 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots and Luis Scola 16 points and 12 rebounds for Houston.
