On Wednesday night, with the Bulls leading Charlotte by three points late in regulation, Rose fouled D.J. Augustin on a 3-point attempt. Augustin made three free throws to send the game in overtime and the Bobcats eventually won.
But on Wednesday night with Chicago down four, Rose watched as Ben Gordon was fouled by fellow rookie Eric Gordon. Ben Gordon hit the three and the free throw to send the game in overtime.
"It happened to me the other night," Rose said. "He made a rookie mistake. It was just a regular mistake, I won't say a rookie mistake. He reached and Ben took advantage of it."
Unlike Rose, who was critical of the call Tuesday, Eric Gordon had no comment on the call following the game.
The Bulls fell behind 109-106 in overtime, but came back on Luol Deng's consecutive jumpers. Deng's second jumper gave the Bulls a 110-109 lead with 1:09 left. After Andres Nocioni took an offensive foul on Zach Randolph, Derrick Rose closed it out for the Bulls by driving the lane to convert a three-point play that made it 113-109 with 42.6 seconds to go.
Randolph thought Nocioni flopped on the play and he thought the NBA officials have an idea of Nocioni's tendencies.
"And the refs know that and I don't understand," Randolph said.
Nocioni and Ben Gordon each had 22 points to help Chicago improve to 9-3 at home. The Bulls scored the final nine points in overtime.
"It was not pretty at times, but we found a way to win," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "After the overtime loss (Tuesday) and getting in overtime tonight, I could not be happier for the guys."
Los Angeles' Marcus Camby had a career-high 27 rebounds and scored 19 points, and Randolph finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists. The Clippers also lost in overtime to Charlotte on Tuesday night.
Camby also was irked by Nocioni's play.
"It's frustrating because everybody in the league, everybody in the building knows what he does," Camby said. "He flops, but he got the benefited of the call tonight so we just have to take this one on the chin and we have try to regroup and we have two more games on this road trip."
The loss snapped the Clippers' winning streak at three. All five Los Angeles starters played 40-plus minutes, while their backups were outscored 43-7.
Camby dominated the paint and grabbed his 20th rebound late in the third quarter.
With the Clippers down 99-96 late in the fourth quarter, Randolph scored four straight to give Los Angeles the lead. After Gordon's basket for the Bulls, Al Thornton had a layup and Camby had a tip-in to make it 104-101.
Randolph extended the Clippers' lead to four at 106-102 with a pair of free throws with 25.1 left in regulation, but Gordon it with his four-point play with 20.5 left in regulation. With Gordon leaning in, Eric Gordon fouled him at the top of the key and Ben Gordon followed with a free throw to tie it.
"I just got a little freedom on that pick by Drew (Gooden). I just drived to shoot it and fortunately Eric Gordon grabbed my arm and I was able to finish," said Ben Gordon.
Thornton missed a baseline jumper for the Clippers with 0.5 seconds left. The Bulls failed to win the game in regulation when they couldn't convert an alley-oop from a sideline pass.
