The Bulls, who have lost four of their last six at home, shook up their lineup Monday night by moving Scottie Pippen from forward to guard and replacing guard Pete Myers with Toni Kukoc, who started at forward. Kukoc failed to score. Chicago received 20 points from B.J. Armstrong and 18 from Pippen.
Elsewhere, Karl Malone scored 18 points, including a fadeaway in the lane with 35.9 seconds to play to lead Utah to its sixth straight victory, this time over the Houston Rockets, 89-85.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
