Ben Gordon went close to his best-ever game for the Bulls, scoring 22 point and a career-high nine assists in the match, to lead the home team to a comprehensive victory.

New recruit Ben Wallace had an outstanding game in defence, restricting Buck's attacking spearhead Andrew Bogut to just six points.

In other matches from Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs continued their good form on the road with a 105-93 pasting of the Knicks in New York.

Tony Parker once again starred for the Spurs, netting 24 points including five down the stretch to stamp out the Knicks attempted late comeback.

The Utah Jazz held off a fast finishing Detroit to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. The Jazz can thank Mehmet Okur for Monday night's (US time) victory as the big man scored 23 points, eight in the final term, and then produced a great defensive play to block Richard Hamilton's last-second lay-up attempt.

In the remaining matches, the Golden State Warriors overturned a narrow half-time deficit to register a tense 107-104 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the Sacramento Kings produced a great third quarter to overpower the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-84 while the Clippers had an easy 13-point win over the Portland Trailblazers in Los Angeles.
