CHICAGO, April 20 (UPI) -- Ben Gordon was one of six players to score in double figures Wednesday night as Chicago beat the Toronto Raptors, 127-106.
The Bulls locked up the seventh playoff seed in the Eastern Conference with the victory.
Overall, Gordon had 24 points, six rebounds and seven assists; Luol Deng added 21 points, seven rebounds and two assists; Kirk Hinrich had 17 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists and Chris Duhon and Jannero Pargo each scored 11 for the Bulls (51-41), who closed out the regular season with a six-game winning streak and will face the Miami Heat in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Chicago could have finished as high as fifth in the East, but wins by Washington and Indiana prevented that.
Morris Peterson and Charlie Villanueva each scored 29 points for the Raptors (27-55), who lost 12 of their last 13 games to end the season.
