Deng Should Keep the Tape on His Wrist

A lot was made of the controversy surrounding James Posey’s flagrant foul on Luol Deng the other night, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise for several reasons.  First, it seemed to inspire the Bulls, who not only went on to beat the Heat and the Raptors, but they also took down the Cavaliers last night in a battle of two teams near the top of the division standings.

Secondly, it seems to have lit a fire under Deng.  He scored 25 points in the win over the Raptors, but topped that performance by pouring in 32 last night.  He’s done this all while sporting a taped right (shooting) wrist as a result of the fall he took from the fould from Posey.  These games represent his highest scoring output in three weeks.
