CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Kevin Huerter made a 3-pointer just before the buzzer, lifting the Chicago Bulls past the Boston Celtics 114-111 before retiring Derrick Rose\u2019s jersey number on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Coby White scored 22 points and hit five of Chicago\u2019s 21 3s, helping the Bulls win their fourth straight.<\/p>\n
Rose entered rarified air after the game when the Bulls sent his No. 1 to the rafters, putting the Chicago product alongside Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jerry Sloan and Bob Love as the only players with numbers retired by the team.<\/p>\n
The Bulls gave their crowd plenty to cheer before they honored the South Side product and former MVP by squeezing out a win over the Eastern Conference\u2019s second-place team, even though Jaylen Brown scored 33 for Boston.<\/p>\n
Chicago led 111-109 when White missed a driving layup and Smith missed the putback with 20 seconds remaining. Brown got the rebound and drove for a layup to tie it with 14 seconds left.<\/p>\n
The Bulls called a timeout and worked the ball to Huerter, who nailed a 3 from the corner with less than a second remaining. Huerter arrived at United Center wearing a No. 1 jersey in honor of Rose.<\/p>\n
Nikola Vucevic scored 16 for Chicago, and Smith and Matas Buzelis added 14 points apiece.<\/p>\n
Anfernee Simmons finished with 21 points for Boston. Derrick White added 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.<\/p>\n
