Bulls Win First Game Of Season

CHICAGO - Tyrus Thomas had 19 points and 14 rebounds and the Chicago Bulls finally got their first victory after four losses, beating the Detroit Pistons 97-93.

Chicago overcame a 36-point performance from Rasheed Wallace in the first meeting between the teams since the Pistons beat the Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals last spring.

Luol Deng added 17 points and Ben Gordon had 16 for the Bulls, while Kirk Hinrich had 14 assists.

NETS 87, WIZARDS 85: Richard Jefferson scored 25 points, including two game-winning free throws with 24 seconds to play, and New Jersey rallied for victory over winless Washington.

The Nets' fourth victory in five games wasn't secured until Antoine Wright forced Gilbert Arenas to his right and the Washington guard had to take an off-balance shot that might have been deflected by Vince Carter.

Carter had 24 points, including 12-of-14 from the line, to help New Jersey rally from a 20-point first-half deficit. Antawn Jamison had 24 points and nine rebounds for Washington.
