Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) -- Call the Chicago Bulls the road warriors of the NBA.

Derrick Rose hit a go-ahead jumper with seven seconds left in overtime and the Chicago Bulls snapped the Golden State Warriors' 19-game home winning streak following a 113-111 triumph on Tuesday night.

Rose nailed a tough, contested step-back from the right wing over the outstretched arm of Klay Thompson for a two-point Chicago edge. Thompson then missed a runner from inside the left elbow at the other end.

The Bulls have 17 road wins this season, tied with the Atlanta Hawks for the most road victories in the NBA. Rose finished with 30 points, but was just 13-of-33 from the floor and turned the ball over a career-high 11 times to go with a single assist.

"I was just trying to do anything to win," Rose said. "I knew Jimmy (Butler) was going to be out. Just trying to take on that load."

Butler, Chicago's leading scorer, missed the contest due to an illness.
