"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.

 

The Sixers shot better than 55 percent, including 12-for-18 (66.7 percent) from three-point range, and have won seven of their last eight.

 

Game Notes

 

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.

 

Rose, after sitting out against the Wizards on Wednesday with a sprained toe, scored 12 of his points in the fourth quarter, including an acrobatic layup with his back to the basket and two Celtics trying to guard him.

 

The Celtics were down by 20 points three times in the third quarter.

 

After a timeout, Rose scored Chicago's next seven points and the Bulls built their lead back up to nine with under four minutes remaining. It reached as high as 13 before the end of the game.

 

The reigning MVP was 6-of-14 in the second half after making only three shots in the first. He had seven assists and four rebounds.

 

Paul Pierce added 13 points and Garnett scored just eight for the Celtics, who never had a lead in the game. They trailed 26-13 after the first quarter, 52-33 at halftime and 67-59 heading into the fourth quarter.
