CHICAGO -- For nearly three quarters, the Orlando Magic looked like the team that has been the surprise of young NBA season. . Then, the Chicago Bulls found the right mix. Luol Deng scored 15 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 99-93 win over Orlando on Tuesday night, the Magics first loss of the season. Deng and Nate Robinson keyed a 15-2 second-half burst when Chicago turned a five-point deficit into an eight-point lead. Robinson hit two straight jumpers to put Chicago ahead 74-70 early in the fourth, the Bulls first lead since midway through the third period. "We executed well," Deng said. "I thought Nate did a good job of looking for his shot and running the plays we were calling." Deng teamed with fellow starter Joakim Noah and three reserves for most of the run, with Robinson, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson making key contributions. "The guys we had in, Taj and Jimmy, gave us a big lift," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Nate also was really good out there. I thought in the second half, we played a lot harder." Noah had 20 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Chicago, while Robinson added 11 points and six assists off the bench. Robinsons layup with 2:35 to play put Chicago up 91-81, its biggest lead of the game. "(Winning is) all that counts, but we need to play better," Noah said. "This isnt going to cut it against a better team. Weve just got to keep fighting. "Theyre an underrated team. I feel like theyve got a lot of offensive firepower, they spread the floor," he added. "It was a good win tonight." Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 28 points, 19 in the second half. ETwaun Moore added a career-high 17 points. "Our lull offensively gave them an opportunity to hit some shots in the fourth quarter," Afflalo said. "Its unfortunate, because it was a game I thought we could have won." Glen Davis, who entered the game fourth in the NBA with 25.5 points per game, scored 16 points but shot just 7 of 22 from the floor and fouled out. "The Bulls did a good job of getting us out of our stuff," Davis said. "You have to give them credit. Theyre a great defensive team." Nicola Vucevic had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who had won three of their last four in Chicago entering the game. Orlando had started the season 2-0, surprising many around the league after trading star centre Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer. The Magic came up short in its bid to go 3-0 for just the fourth time in franchise history. "We cant play one-on-one basketball," Vaughn said. "When we shared the basketball we got good looks. But when we turn it into a one-on-one contest, were not going to get good looks." The Magic led 70-65 when the Bulls started their decisive run late in the third quarter. Deng tied the game with a jumper with 10:58 to play. Later, Robinson capped the run with a layup in transition. "I think we wanted it more," Robinson said. "I think at the end we were more gritty. Coach said whatever it takes to get the win. So tonight, we had to gut it out." Orlando trimmed the lead to four on Affalos 3 in the final minute, but Chicago held on down the stretch. Gibsons dunk and free throw with 39 seconds remaining iced it for the Bulls. The Magic pushed the lead to seven in the second quarter behind seven points from Moore before Richard Hamilton closed the lead to 48-45 with a pull-up jumper in transition to close the first half. J.J. Redick continued his hot shooting early with a 3-pointer and a midrange jumper during the spree. Redick hit 16 of 25 shots in Orlandos first two games. After making his first two shots, Redick hit just one of the next seven before hitting a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, with Butler sticking to him for most of the second half. "We just found a way," Noah said. "We fought hard at the end. Jimmy (Butler) gave us a great spark." The Bulls needed the win after losing to New Orleans on Saturday and with Oklahoma City visiting the United Center on Thursday. The Bulls have not lost two straight at home since a five-game skid from March 1 to 19, 2010. "This was a tough game," Deng said. "Theyre playing well and we lost our last game. Its one of those we needed to win. You dont want to lose two, then weve got Oklahoma (City) coming in. The fourth quarter was really good for the team." NOTES: Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson missed his second straight game because of a strained right hamstring and groin. Hes day to day. ...

Despite the loss, Orlando was 8 for 19 from 3-point range. The Magic entered the game with a 53.8 per cent mark behind the arc.

Andrea Stramaccioni was promoted from youth club coach and will now direct the first team, Inter said on its website. He becomes Inters fifth different manager since Jose Mourinho departed upon leading Inter to a treble in 2010. MINNEAPOLIS -- Maybe the Minnesota Twins should wait until the night before to tell Brian Duensing hes starting. This short-notice outing sure went well. Justin Morneau hit a two-run homer, Duensing threw six smooth innings as a late fill-in for Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins finished a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 5-1 victory on Sunday. Duensings Twitter followers started asking him if he was starting after the Liriano trade was finalized late Saturday night with the Chicago White Sox. Weird, he thought. Well, he went to the teams website and saw the news. Then he sent a text message to pitching coach Rick Anderson to confirm it. "He said, Yeah, and asked if I was OK with it," Duensing said. "Im not going to say no." Duensing (2-6) lost all four of his previous starts this year, but he needed only 70 pitches to finish six frames and yield to the bullpen after scattering five singles without a walk, giving up one run and striking out two. "I think he kind of likes that: not preparing and just going out there and throwing the ball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I think he enjoyed that part of it. He did a really nice job." Ubaldo Jimenez (8-10) worked into the seventh and struck out six, but the Indians lost for the eighth time in their last 11 games. They were a season-high 5 1/2 games out of first place in the AL Central when the game began, behind the Chicago White Sox. They havent been two games under .500 since mid-April. "We came in here with high hopes to keep it going, and it wasnt that way. We couldnt do anything," Jimenez said. Duensing has a 3.12 ERA in 33 relief appearances in 2012, but he had struggled in the starters role, allowing 15 runs, 23 hits and five homers over 13 1-3 innings in his prior turns. But the Twins have refused to give up on him, believing his array of pitches is deep enough to work through several innings rather than just facing a handful of batters. With Liriano gone and the starters a collective last in the league in ERA, the 29-year-old Duensing still has ample room to carve out a permanent place for him in Minneesotas starting five.

"Id like to be a starter, but I dont feel like Im in a spot to go in there and demand it or anything," Duensing said. This was a solid audition. Shelley Duncans bloop single that barely carried over shortstop Brian Doziers head to put the Indians in front in the fourth, but Morneaus soaring shot into the flower bed over the 23-foot wall in right-centre field came in the bottom of that inning. Ben Revere had two hits, two steals and two RBIs for the Twins. He doubled in the fifth, moved up on a balk and score on a wild pitch by Jimenez to stretch the lead to two in the fifth. "Everything that could go wrong went wrong," Indians manager Manny Acta said. Jimenez walked Denard Span, his last batter. After a double steal by Dozier and Span, Tony Sipp gave up a two-run, one-out single to Revere to make it 5-1. "The first two games were awful," Duncan said. "We needed to pull today out, and we just didnt get it done." This was the third series sweep this year by the Twins, who outscored the Indians 28-6 and are batting .325 with 18 homers in their last 13 home games. "Definitely a good feeling, coming out of Chicago where we just got swept," Span said, adding: "It starts with starting pitching. They give us an opportunity offensively to do some things. We can be aggressive on the base paths." NOTES: Dozier also had two of Minnesotas season-high-tying five steals. ... Morneau, who homered at Target Field for just the eighth time in 115 games over three seasons, moved within one RBI of matching Gary Gaetti for fifth place on the teams all-time list with 756. ... The Indians are off Monday and start a three-game series in Kansas City on Tuesday. RHP Derek Lowe (8-9, 5.09 ERA), who has won only two of his last 12 starts, takes the mound. Hell face RHP Luke Hochevar (6-9, 5.26 ERA) of the Royals. ... The Twins host Lirianos new team, the White Sox, for three games starting Monday. LHP Jose Quintana (4-1, 2.58 ERA) is scheduled to start for Chicago, and RHP Cole De Vries (2-2, 3.64 ERA) will pitch for the Twins. ' ' '
