CHICAGO – Pau Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds and was one of six Chicago Bulls to score in double figures in a 114-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night at the United Center.

Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, playing for the first time at home since Feb. 23, had 22 points and eight assists to help pace the Bulls (48-32), who also got productive nights from guard/forward Jimmy Butler (15 points), guard Mike Dunleavy (13 points) and guard Tony Snell (11 points).

Rose, who played in the fourth quarter for the first time since returning from a knee injury, proved pivotal down the stretch. The former NBA Most Valuable Player scored six points in the quarter, allowing the Bulls to hold on.

Forward Robert Covington led Philadelphia (18-61) with 22 points. Guard Jason Richardson followed with 19 and guard JaKarr Sampson had 18.

The Bulls, who trailed as many as nine points in the first half, used an 8-0 fourth-quarter scoring run to build a 10-point lead. But the 76ers, who are 6-35 on the road this season, kept close before back-to-back 3-point field goals by Bulls reserve forward Nikola Mirotic pushed the lead back to eight points.

Philadelphia, which was hampered by injuries, managed to stay close throughout the fourth quarter. That's when Rose -- whose minutes have been limited since returning earlier this week from a torn meniscus -- took over.

In addition to Rose's late scoring, he kept his teammates involved. With the 76ers refusing to quit, Rose located Gibson for a basket with 28 seconds remaining that gave the Bulls a 112-106 lead.

Rose missed his first three shots from the field but finished 8 of 19, playing 28 minutes in his longest performance since returning from the injury and playing limited minutes in back-to-back games against the Magic and Heat.
