Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau will coach the Eastern Conference at the All-Star Game later this month.

The Bulls (24-7) claimed a 121-115 victory over the Kings on Tuesday night to clinch the conference's best record through games played February 15, giving Thibodeau the nod for the February 26 contest at the Amway Center in Orlando.

The NBA's reigning Coach of the Year, Thibodeau piloted the Bulls to an NBA- best 62-20 record last season. Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the Miami Heat in five games.

Oklahoma City's Scott Brooks will coach the Western Conference.
