Ben Gordon scored 39 points, John Salmons finished with 19 after a slow start and the Chicago Bulls hit the .500 mark for the first time since mid-November with a 113-106 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night.
With the Bulls trailing 93-92 midway through the fourth, Salmons and Gordon hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the decisive 10-point run and send Chicago to its fourth straight win and 11th in 14 games. Derrick Rose added 22 as the seventh-place Bulls (40-40) strengthened their standing in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago moved a game ahead of the Pistons, a 106-102 loser to Indiana, with two to play heading into Monday's meeting at Detroit. The Bulls also pulled within a half-game of sixth-place Philadelphia with their 14th win in 15 home games.
