"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
