By Jim Patrick

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Bulls keep finding new ways to hamper themselves as they trail the Utah Jazz 81-65 after three quarters.

Chicago's defense finally slowed the Jazz in the third quarter but the Bulls failed to take advantage. During one three-minute sequence, the Bulls threw the ball out of bounds, had a pass stolen, had a shot blocked and gave up another steal. They trailed by 19 midway through the quarter.

Luol Deng led the Bulls with 21 points.
