Timberwolves fall to Bulls 109-101 drop out of first place in West again

Leading most the game and then not for the briefest of time, the Chicago Bulls finished Sunday's game with a late 10-2 run that beat the Timberwolves 109-101 at Target Center.

Venerable Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan's steal at one end and layup at the other as well as a clutch three-pointer fueled the game-winning run, one that knocked the Wolves out of first place in the Western Conference only two days after they reclaimed the spot.

It also kept the Wolves from clinching a playoff spot, although they still could if Sacramento lost later Sunday.

The last time — and first time this season — the teams played, the Wolves lost yet another big lead late.
