CHICAGO (AFP) -- Chicago reserve Ben Gordon scored 31 points and Luol Deng added 28 to spark the Bulls past Milwaukee 99-93 here Friday, making Jim Boylan a winner in his NBA debut as the club's new coach.

Gordon scored 12 points in the final five minutes while Deng produced half his total in the first quarter as the Bulls ended a three-game losing skid.
Boylan, an NBA assistant coach for 14 years, was named Thursday as an interim replacement for Scott Skiles, who was fired by the Bulls on Christmas Eve.
Gordon was benched from the starting five for the first time this season and replaced by Chris Duhon in the starting five for Chicago but Gordon lifted the Bulls when he left the bench.
Gordon hit 9-of-10 free throws, including two with 1:40 remaining to give Chicago the lead for good at 93-91.
The Bucks lost the ball on a turnover on the next possession when the ball was ruled to have gone off a Milwaukee player, prompting Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak to race onto the court.
Deng scored off a follow and Krystkowiak ran onto the court again, incurring two technical fouls and an ejection. Gordon sank two more free throws and the Bucks were undone.
Michael Redd scored 34 points to lead Milwaukee, losers in 13 of the past 17 starts.
Australian center Andrew Bogut scored 15 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for the Bucks while Chinese rookie Yi Jianlian scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Milwaukee.
