Game Sparks Attempts From Hawes

Basketball Betting Lines

Williams and center Spencer Hawes, who returned from a back injury, had eight points apiece in the quarter and the Sixers steadied the ship quickly after Washington cut their lead from 25 to 16 in about two minutes in the fourth quarter.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Game Notes

 

San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Parker scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, as the Spurs controlled the final stanza to upend the Trail Blazers, 99-83. Tiago Splitter was a spark with 14 points, while fellow reserve Danny Green chipped in 13 points for San Antonio, which got 13 points and 11 rebounds from DeJuan Blair in its second straight win.

 

The Spurs improved to 8-0 at home and won for just the second time in 10 meetings against Portland, which got its six-game road trip started on a sour note.
