OAKLAND, Calif. >> Derrick Rose hit a step-back jumper with 7 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Chicago Bulls ended Golden State’s franchise-record 19-game home winning streak with a thrilling 113-111 victory over the Warriors on Tuesday night.
Rose dribbled to his left and created space to get the shot off over Klay Thompson, skipping around the court after the Warriors called timeout. Rose finished with 30 points, and his final basket overshadowed a night when he committed a career-high 11 turnovers and made just 13 of 33 shots.
Thompson misfired on a running bank shot as time expired to finish off Golden State’s first loss at rowdy Oracle Arena in more than two months.
The Warriors forced overtime on Draymond Green’s tying tip-in with 1.4 seconds left. But they couldn’t do enough to slow down a rejuvenated Rose and Chicago’s front line with center Andrew Bogut out with flu-like symptoms.
Pau Gasol had 18 points and 16 rebounds, and Joakim Noah had 18 points and 15 rebounds as the Bulls pounded the Warriors down low. They outrebounded Golden State 61 to 48.
Thompson had 30 points and 10 rebounds, and David Lee scored a season-high 24 points for the NBA-leading Warriors (36-7), who lost on their home floor for the only the second time all season and the first time since San Antonio knocked them off on Nov. 11.
The teams finished a wildly entreating game in dramatic finish.
Stephen Curry capped a 7-0 spurt to start the fourth quarter with one of his biggest highlights, faking a behind-the-back pass with his left hand and throwing a no-look toss over his right shoulder to Lee for a dunk to put the Warriors up 88-79.
But just as he did throughout the night, Rose brought the Bulls back — bringing a louder-than-usual visiting crowd in Oakland to a light roar each time. The Warriors still led 105-100 with 2:18 left before the Bulls made their final charge.
Chicago capped its closing burst by trapping Curry in the backcourt and forcing him into an errant pass. Rose came up with the ball and fed Kirk Hinrich, whose 3-pointer put the Bulls up 107-105 with 15.8 seconds remaining.
Andre Iguodala missed a 3 after a timeout, but Green pushed Noah aside for the tying tip-in. Rose’s long-range heave at the end of regulation was never close.
Neither team could create much separation in the extra session.
Green stole Hinrich’s inbound pass in the final minute before Thompson missed a 3-pointer on the other end. Rose dribbled out the shot clock, then hit the jumper over Thompson to put the Bulls up for good.
After a timeout, Nikola Mirotic fouled Iguodala behind the basket as he went up. Officials ruled Iguodala was not in the act of shooting, giving Golden State the ball on the side — which Warriors coach Steve Kerr argued.
Thompson broke free on the inbounds pass, but missed an open bank shot to finish off Golden State’s loss.
