Zach LaVine scored 24 points and DeMar DeRozan added 21 as the Chicago Bulls snapped a three-game losing streak with a 130-113 win over the visiting Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Coby White hit 7 of 9 shots to finish with 18 points and had seven assists for the Bulls, who had eight players in double figures as they successfully opened a three-game homestead with their top offensive output of the season.

Chicago forced 22 Jazz turnovers, shot 51.6 percent and led by as many as 25 points.

Lauri Markkanen had a game-high 29 points, including five 3-pointers, but the Jazz posted a third consecutive loss.

Walker Kessler contributed 15 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots and John Collins scored 14 for Utah, which has two more games on a four-game road trip. Kelly Olynyk added 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for the struggling Jazz.

This was Utah's fourth loss by 16-plus points in eight games.

The Jazz jumped ahead early and held a 22-21 lead after an alley-top score by Markkanen when the Bulls seized control with an 11-2 push.

Chicago continued that surge to go up by double-digits, 47-35, while limiting the Jazz to only three points in the first 3 1/2 minutes of the second quarter.

Utah ended up scoring only 20 points in the second quarter as the Bulls took a 66-52 lead into the break. The Jazz had 15 first-half turnovers, leading to 13 second-chance points for Chicago.

Chicago kept its momentum in the second half, quickly taking a 19-point lead after LaVine followed a DeRozan layup with a 3-pointer for the first five points of the third quarter.

The Jazz closed to within 13 on Collins' three-point play that made it 82-69 midway through the third quarter, but the Bulls managed to maintain and build on their big advantage from that point.
