CHICAGO -- Having been burned by D.
Tommy McDonald
Eagles Jersey .J. Augustin the previous night, the Boston Celtics clamped
down on the Bulls guard in the second game of their home-and-home series. Boston
succeeded in limiting Augustin to four points on 1-of-9 shooting, but that didnt
affect the final outcome. Mike Dunleavy had 22 points on 7-for-12 shooting and
Augustin handed out 11 assists to help five Bulls score in double figures for a
94-80 win over the Celtics on Monday night. "From the beginning of the game I
knew they were going to do that, adjust to me," Augustin said. "I had to do some
other things and find my teammates and they did a great job getting open."
Joakim Noah added 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, Jimmy Butler scored
18 points, Carlos Boozer 16 and Taj Gibson had 14 points and 11 rebounds for
Chicago, which pulled away with a 13-0 run at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Bulls (42-32) moved into a tie with the Toronto Raptors -- who lost at Miami
-- for third place in the Eastern Conference. "I think its very important,"
Dunleavy said of the third seed. "We want to get as high as we can. Not only
with home-court advantage and avoiding the first seed in the second round, if
were fortunate enough to advance. We just want to get as high as we can."
Chicago swept the home-and-home series with the Celtics after winning 107-102 in
Boston on Sunday. The Celtics have lost 10 straight on the road to drop to 8-28
away from home. Their last road win was Feb. 10 at Milwaukee. Brandon Bass and
Jerryd Bayless scored 18 points apiece for the Celtics. Rajon Rondo didnt play
Monday after getting 17 points and 11 assists Sunday. He is still working his
way back to full strength following reconstructive knee surgery and doesnt play
in back-to-back games. "It wasnt just the fourth (quarter)," Boston coach Brad
Stevens said. "The first five minutes of the third and the fourth we went into a
drought. We looked heavy-legged the whole second half. "Thats no excuse because
they played last night, too." The game was tight entering the fourth, but the
Bulls went on a quick 9-0 run for an 80-70 lead with 9 1/2 minutes to play
before Stevens called time out. The stoppage didnt curb the Bulls momentum.
Gibson scored on vicious dunk off a nice feed from Butler to make it 82-70 and
Noah capped the run of 13 straight with a post move for an 84-70 lead. Noah had
six points during the spurt, including an 18-foot jumper before Bostons timeout.
"Theyre a good team," Bayless said. "We dont have a lot of room for error. We
made a couple of bad plays in a row and theyre too good and they got on the
break and hit their shots. We have to pull it together for longer stretches of
time." Although Augustin didnt score in the fourth, he played a big role by
dishing out six assists as Boston overplayed him. "Thats the advantage we have
with the finishing group," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The job of those
guys is to read what the defence is doing." The Bulls are 10 games over .500 for
the first time this season. "I think were playing pretty good basketball, but I
think we can play better," Noah said. "I think the mindset is good. Everybody is
working, everybody is in the weight room, everybody is trying to find ways to
get better." NOTES: Home-and-home series on consecutive games used to be a
regular occurrence in the NBA, but are rare these days. "Its the same plays, so
theres a tendency for the players to know whats coming," Thibodeau said. "I
think its good preparation for whats coming down the road." ... Since he wasnt
playing because of the back-to-back, Rondo spent part of the game working on the
TV broadcast back to Boston. ... Celtics G Avery Bradley left the game in the
first half because of a sore Achilles. . Noah had 13 assists in Sundays game,
the most ever by a visiting centre in Boston. The previous high was 11 by Wilt
Chamberlain in 1968.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Cavaliers continued to be active in the
trade market on Wednesday, bolstering a glaring need in the frontcourt by
acquiring center Timofey Mozgov from the Denver Nuggets. The move comes just two
days after the Cavaliers orchestrated a three-team deal with New York and
Oklahoma City, in which Cleveland obtained 2013 NBA Sixth Man of the Year J.R.
Smith and guard Iman Shumpert from the Knicks and shipped 2012 No. 4 overall
pick Dion Waiters to the Thunder. Cleveland received a protected 2015 first
round choice from Oklahoma City as part of that swap. It dealt away that
selection on Wednesday, as well as a protected 2015 first rounder it owned from
Memphis, to bring in Mozgov. The Cavaliers also garnered a 2015 second round
pick from the Nuggets in the trade. Mozgov had started each of Denver 35 games
this season,, averaging 8.

blocks. The 7-foot-1 Russian averaged a personal-best 9.4 points along with 6.4
rebounds and 1.2 rejections over 82 games in 2013-14. The 28-year-old also has a
familiarity with Cavaliers head coach David Blatt, who coached Mozgov on the
Russian National team that won a bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in
London. Mozgov joins an injury-riddled Cleveland roster that lost starting
center Anderson Varejao to a season-ending torn Achilles tendon on Dec. 23,
leaving the Cavaliers extremely thin in the frontcourt. Recent injuries to
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving have also helped trigger Clevelands recent cold
stretch. The Cavs have lost five of six entering Wednesdays game against Houston
and are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 19-16 record.
