Warriors Nip Rockets In OT

(Oakland, CA) -- Steph Curry hit the game-tying layup with under four seconds to play and scored seven points in overtime to help the Warriors nip the Rockets 102-99 in Oakland.

Bulls Stand Pat At Deadline

(Chicago, IL) -- The Bulls were quiet as yesterday's trade deadline passed. The team did not make any moves just as executive vice president John Paxon and general manager Gar Forman expected. Veterans Mike Dunleavy and Kirk Hinrich were rumored to be possible trade chips.

The Bulls host the Denver Nuggets tonight at the United Center. Chicago improved to 28-25 with Wednesday's win at Toronto. Denver improved to 25-28 with last night's win at Milwaukee.  The Bulls lost at Denver back in late November. Tip is set for 7:00.
