Jamison scores 24 in rare Warriors' win

RECAP | BOX SCORE | GAME FLOW

CHICAGO (AP) – Dave Cowens didn't care how, as long as his team finally won a game.

Antawn Jamison
The Warriors' Antawn Jamison soars over Marcus Fizer to score two of his 24 points.
So, he appreciated the effort of Antawn Jamison, who had 24 points and 12 rebounds as the Golden State Warriors broke an eight-game losing streak by beating the Chicago Bulls 84-78 Monday night.

"We needed a win awfully bad, especially with the 4 1/2-hour flight back to the West Coast," Cowens said.

Adonal Foyle had 12 points and tied his career-high with eight blocked shots, while Larry Hughes added 15 points for Golden State, which has won only twice in its last 15 games.

A dunk by Elton Brand gave Chicago its largest lead 23-13, but Golden State tied it 39-39 on Bob Sura's 3-pointer with 5:39 left in the half. Following a turnover on Chicago's next possession, Sura scored on a driving layup for the Warriors' first lead of the night.

"We had two horrible stretches," Chicago coach Tim Floyd said. "We had a series of about four turnovers in a five-minute period that allowed them to get back in it."

Six points from Foyle keyed a 13-0 run to put Golden State up 65-55 with 2:32 left in the third.

Foyle maintained a strong presence in the middle on defense and gave the Bulls second thoughts whenever they came inside.

"Any time you bring it in there, you'd better dunk it really hard," Foyle said.

The Warriors outscored Chicago 24-11 in the third quarter, with the Bulls shooting only 21 percent from the floor in the period.

Chicago closed the gap to 69-67 on Marcus Fizer's layup with 9:24 left in the game, but Jamison hit four jumpers as Golden State extended its lead to 81-73. Mookie Blaylock missed five of six free throws in the final minute, but Chicago could get no closer than four points.

Brand scored 24 points for Chicago, which missed an opportunity to win two consecutive games for only the second time this year.

Fred Hoiberg had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls.

Game notes
Antawn Jamison's right elbow collided with Brad Miller's forehead late in the first half. Miller needed 12 stitches and Jamison left the court at halftime clutching his elbow in a towel. Both players returned in the second half. ... The Bulls last won two in a row Feb. 13 and 17 against Atlanta and Vancouver, respectively. ... The Warriors are 1-5 on Mondays. ... Marc Jackson, a leading candidate for rookie of the year, did not dress for the fifth straight game because of a strained right groin.
