"In a surprise development, Jimmy Butler played all but nine seconds of the fourth quarter in the Bulls' 105-102 victory Thursday night over the Knicks, scoring four points with a block.
Butler's jumper with 68 seconds left pushed the Bulls lead to 101-96, and he had seven points and two steals overall in nearly 21 minutes.
"I'm not surprised," Derrick Rose said. "Coach loves him. He does his work, is very professional. He's a great rookie.""
