"We couldn't have been better," said Doug Collins.

 

They haven't been this good in their own building since the 2002-03 season, when they started 10-0 at home.

 

They took the lead for good on a Williams floater that made it 15-14 midway through the first quarter. They stretched the lead to 10 entering the second, 33-23, and it was in double digits for all but 1 1/2 minutes after that.

 

The Sixers shot better than 52 percent in the first half, including 75 percent in the first quarter, and took a 54-40 lead into halftime.

 

Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derrick Rose returned from a one-game absence to score 25 points and the Chicago Bulls survived a big rally in the second half to beat the Boston Celtics, 88-79, on Friday night. The Celtics nearly erased a 20-point deficit with a 25-6 run between the third and fourth quarters. As so often happens, however, the Bulls called a timeout to stall Boston and weathered the outburst for their fourth straight win.

 

All five Bulls starters scored in double digits in their 10th win in 11 games. Luol Deng had 21 points and 16 rebounds while Joakim Noah also had a double- double with 10 points and 12 boards.

 

Ray Allen led Boston with 16 points and Rajon Rondo scored 14 with 11 assists, but the Celtics dropped their third straight.

 

Their 25-6 run lasted almost nine minutes, from the time Kevin Garnett's basket cut the deficit to 18 with 6:56 remaining in the third quarter until the recently returned Mickael Pietrus knocked down a three-pointer from the right wing for a one-point game two minutes into the fourth.

 

Rose's highlight-reel layup came as he drove the middle of the lane flanked by Garnett on his left and Celtics center Brandon Bass on his right. Cradling the ball in his right arm, he spun to face the foul line and flipped it towards the backboard, spinning the ball in on the left side.
