Last-gasp Derrick Rose shot gives Chicago Bulls victory

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose scores late on to secure an 82-81 win over the New York Knicks.

A late shot from Derrick Rose helped the Chicago Bulls to an 82-81 victory in the final seconds in their NBA game against the New York Knicks.

The Bulls got off to a quick start, as Luol Deng and Taj Gibson led the scoring to give the home side a 10-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Carmelo Anthony led the New York fightback, leaving the Knicks just seven points down at half time.

After a well-matched third quarter, the Knicks began to turn things around in the fourth quarter as Chicago committed six turnovers, allowing Iman Shumpert to tie the scores in the last 90 seconds, before Tyson Chandler put the visiting side ahead late on.

However, Rose was able to hit straight back, connecting with a Jimmy Butler assist to guide in a winning jump shot, ensuring that the point guard finished the game with 18 points.
