Deng helps Bulls hold off Kings

Basketball Betting Lines

02/14/2012 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luol Deng had 23 points and 11 assists and the Chicago Bulls survived another game without Derrick Rose, holding on to beat the Sacramento Kings 121-115 on Tuesday night.

Joakim Noah added 22 points and 11 rebounds as the Bulls bounced back from a loss to Boston on Sunday and a 6-3 road trip to win for the sixth time in their last seven games.

Rose missed his third straight game with back soreness, although an MRI taken Monday showed there was no structural damage in his back. He is day-to-day. The Bulls improved to 6-2 this season without the reigning NBA MVP in the lineup.

DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 17 rebounds to lead three Kings players who scored over 20. Tyreke Evans added 27 points and Marcus Thornton had 23 but Sacramento's comeback from a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter fell short in the team's third loss in four games.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
