Sacramento Kings rallied from 35 points down in the second half to edge the Chicago Bulls 102-98 last night in the biggest NBA comeback in 13 years.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the NBA\'s biggest comeback since Utah overcame a 36 points deficit to beat Denver on November 27, 1996.
The Bulls led 79-44 with 8 minutes and 50 seconds left in the third quarter and were still up 83-50 two minutes later before they collapsed.
Tyreke Evans finished with 23 points for Sacramento, which has their first two-game road winning streak since late in the 2007-2008 season.
Luol Deng scored 26 points and Derrick Rose added 24 for the Bulls, who were booed off the court.
In Phoenix, LeBron James and Mo Williams led a 15-0 fourth-quarter run as Cleveland Cavalier handed Phoenix their first home loss of the season with a 109-91 victory.
Other winners last night were Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic.
