Miller leads Sixers in OT win over Bulls
Basketball Betting Lines
12/02/2008 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andre Miller missed the game-winning three-
pointer in regulation but rebounded to score nine of his season-high 28 points
in overtime, as the Philadelphia 76ers erased a four-game slide with a
103-95 victory over the Bulls in Chicago.
Tuesday's game was the back end of a home-and-home series, as Chicago defeated
the Sixers, 103-92, in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 25 points to go with nine rebounds and
five assists, and Elton Brand, the No. 1 overall pick by the Bulls in 1999,
added 22 points and 14 rebounds for Philadelphia, which still sits in last
place of the Atlantic Division with an 8-10 overall record.
Derrick Rose finished with 24 points on 11-of-19 shooting with six boards but
dished out just two assists, while Ben Gordon logged 18 points for the Bulls,
who were coming off a 3-4 road trip.
The Bulls trailed 90-83 with three minutes to play in regulation thanks to a
Marreese Speights putback and an Iguodala two-hand slam from the baseline.
But the Sixers failed to score the rest of the way, and Tyrus Thomas' monster
dunk off an Iguodala block made it 90-all with 17.6 seconds left on the clock.
The Sixers drew up a play for Miller in the corner, but his attempt from
behind the arc fell short.
Brand started the visitors off in the extra session with a jumper, and, after
trading free throws, Miller drove the lane and finished off a three-point play
to extend the lead to 97-92 with 2:41 to play.
Chicago's Andres Nocioni nailed a three-pointer to make it a four-point game
with 90 seconds left, but an Iguodala jumper and Gordon's missed layup down
the stretch sealed the win for Philadelphia.
Much like Sunday's tilt between the clubs, the Sixers jumped out to an early
lead only to hit a cold streak and watch the Bulls creep back.
Philly's 23-13 edge after a period of play was nullified by a 9-1 run from
Chicago late in the second. Iguodala's jumper at the buzzer kept the Sixers
ahead, 40-37, at the break, but the Bulls pushed ahead 50-47 midway through
the third on Gordon's three-pointer.
The Sixers scored 12 of the last 14 points in the frame to regain the lead
67-61 heading to the fourth.
