Deng takes advantage of tired Boston side

BOSTON: Luol Deng knew the Boston Celtics were finishing a tiring stretch of four games in five nights. So he and the Chicago Bulls took advantage.

Deng scored 25 points and the Bulls played aggressively from the start in their third straight victory, 96-83 on Thursday night.

"We tried to keep the tempo up," Deng said. "What we did was great in the second half and we knew they were going to try to jump on us early and we did a good job."
