NBA ROUNDUP

Monday’s games

Bulls 105, Wizards 77

WASHINGTON

Luol Deng and Derrick Rose scored 21 points apiece, Joakim Noah had 19, and Chicago beat Washington to move within a game of the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls never trailed as they won their third straight and seventh in eight games. Rose brought out some oohs and aahs with a backward between-the-legs pass to Noah for a fast-break dunk, and Deng was already walking to the locker room before his 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer from the corner swished through the net to give Chicago a 13-point lead at the break.

Suns 104, Nets 103, OT

NEWARK, N.J.

Channing Frye hit a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds to play in overtime and Phoenix spoiled Deron Williams’ home debut for New Jersey. The Nets narrowly missed pulling this one out, but Kris Humphries tip-in of Williams’ floater came a split second after the final buzzer. Williams had 13 points and a season-high 18 assists, including five in rallying New Jersey from a seven-point deficit late in the fourth quarter. Brook Lopez had 28 points for New Jersey.
