"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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
