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.
