The lead was down to 88-82 after Zach Randolph's jumper with 4:45 left in the game, but it was back to 92-82
- after two baskets by Deng.
The Knicks weren't finished, though.
Randolph's 3-pointer made it 95-92 with 25 seconds left, and the Bulls were still sweating after Hinrich hit two free throws because New York's Nate Robinson answered with a layup.
Finally, Gordon converted both free throws to make it 99-94 with 16.2 seconds left, and Hinrich hit two more with 8.4 remaining.
It was a much-needed win for the Bulls and another disappointing loss for New York.
Deng scored 23 points in the second half, and finished with 10 rebounds.
Hinrich finished with 15 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds. His only other triple-double was against Golden State on Feb. 28, 2004.
Zach Randolph led New York with 27 points and 15 rebounds. Fred Jones scored 22, and Jamal Crawford added 18.
