Bulls 94, Celtics 82: Joakim Noah recorded 17 points, 11 rebounds and a season-high nine assists to lead host Chicago past Boston.

Carlos Boozer scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half and Luol Deng finished with 14 for the Bulls, who have won four of their last six after a four-game losing streak. Mike Dunleavy scored eight of his 11 points in the second half and had Chicago's only two 3-pointers.

Jordan Crawford paced the Celtics with 22 points. Jared Sullinger chipped in 11 points and 11 rebounds and Kris Humphries had nine points, 11 boards and four blocks in a reserve role for Boston, which committed 20 turnovers.

Neither team led by more than six points until Deng finished a personal 6-0 run to give Chicago a 56-49 advantage less than four minutes into the second half. Dunleavy had a rare blocked shot before hitting a jumper with 0.3 seconds left to give the Bulls a 70-62 edge entering the fourth.

Dunleavy found Noah for a basket to begin the fourth and Noah returned the favor on the next possession before Dunleavy hit a pull-up 3-pointer in transition to make it 77-62 and force a Celtics timeout. Boston, which also made only two 3-pointers, never got closer than 10 points down the stretch in losing for the fifth time in six games.
