CHICAGO, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Two three-pointers in overtime by Luol Deng Thursday night carried the Chicago Bulls to a 102-93 victory over Cleveland.

Although Cleveland's LeBron James scored 28 points and claimed 14 rebounds, he hit just eight field goals in 28 attempts. James made only two shots from the field after halftime and committed eight of his team's 16 turnovers.

Cleveland also suffered the loss of guard Delonte West, who fractured his right wrist.

Deng scored 22 points and Tyrus Thomas added 15 for Chicago. The Bulls scored the first six points in overtime and, after James made two free throws, Deng hit a three-pointer.

Chicago also scored the final five points in regulation, getting a three-pointer from Thabo Sefolosha to tie it with 7 seconds to play. James missed a three-point shot at the buzzer.
