During an up-and-down season for the Bulls that's featured its share of struggles, Fred Hoiberg has taken as much heat as anyone.

But apparently the seemingly mild-mannered coach has cranked up his own intensity in practice, at least he did leading up to the Bulls' 104-103 win over the Celtics on Thursday night, the team's last game before the All-Star break.

Forward Taj Gibson told reporters after the game that he wanted the team to get the win for its second-year head coach.

"I really wanted to get this one for Fred," Gibson said after Thursday's win. "He's been battling guys in practice the last couple days, and it was good for us to end (the first half) off the right way."
