CLEVELAND - Luol Deng scored 15 points
and helped stop LeBron James on a drive in the final seconds as the
Chicago Bulls ended Cleveland's three-game winning streak with an 86-85
win over the Cavaliers on Thursday night.
Derrick Rose had 14 points and 11 assists
and John Salmons added 14 points for the Bulls, who handed the Cavs
their second loss at home. Cleveland, which lost to Boston in its
opener, only lost two regular-season games and went 45-3 at Quicken
Loans Arena last season.
James, who led the Cavaliers with 25
points, lost the ball out of bounds with 3.2 seconds to go after
powering his way to the hoop. Shaquille O'Neal had 14 points and 10
rebounds for Cleveland.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Carlos Boozer
ended his slump with 27 points and 14 rebounds and the Jazz snapped a
two-game losing skid.
Deron Williams also scored 27 and had
nine assists in Utah's first win over San Antonio since April 2008.
Andrei Kirilenko added 12 points and six assists and rookie Wesley
Matthews scored a career-high 12 points for Utah, which improved to 2-3.
Tim Duncan had 15 points and 13 rebounds
and Tony Parker had 21 points, but scored just four in the second half
as the Spurs couldn't overcome the Jazz's shooting.
Boozer finished 12 for 20 from the field
and the Jazz went 44 for 83.
