Basketball: Chicago 96 Orlando 94

A pair of free throws by Luol Deng with 4.2 seconds remaining wrapped up Chicago's 96-94 victory over Orlando, the Magic's seventh straight loss. Carlos Boozer scored 31 points and had 11 rebounds for the Bulls, who held on down the stretch after taking an 18-point lead during the third quarter. Orlando climbed within two on a 3-pointer by Arron Afflalo with 46 seconds to play and the Magic got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead. Jameer Nelson had one attempt blocked out of bounds and his second jump shot with 5 seconds left misfired. Deng grabbed the rebound and was immediately fouled. His free throws gave Chicago a 96-92 lead and made Nelson's layup at the buzzer meaningless. Deng scored 23 points while Taj Gibson added 21 and 11 rebounds. Nelson finished with a career-best 32 points, helped along by six 3-pointers. Source:UPI
