KENYON Martin scored 18 points and newcomer Wilson Chandler added 16 as the host Denver Nuggets closed the game with a 16-0 run to beat the Boston Celtics 89-75 in the NBA yesterday.
Denver played its first game with the five new players it acquired in the trade that sent star forward Carmelo Anthony and veteran Chauncey Billups to the New York Knicks two days ago.
The Celtics had just nine players available following three trades earlier yesterday.
Paul Pierce, who led Boston with 17 points, hit a 3-pointer with 6? minutes remaining to give Boston a 75-73 lead, but the Celtics were held scoreless for the rest of the game.
Bulls 93, Heat 89
In Chicago, Derrick Rose scored 26 points and Luol Deng added 20, including the game-winning 3-pointer, as Chicago topped Miami.
In a game between two of the Eastern Conference's top teams, the Bulls used a big third quarter to turn a nine-point Miami halftime lead into a 71-67 advantage. Chicago then held on despite falling behind by four points in the fourth quarter.
Deng's 3-pointer with 16 seconds remaining broke an 89-all tie and gave Chicago its 16th win in 21 games.
Dwyane Wade scored 34 points and LeBron James added 29 for Miami, which lost for only the second time in 13 games.
