PHILADELPHIA: Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala helped the 76ers stamp themselves as a rising threat in the NBA's Eastern Conference, scoring 19 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a 98-82 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

The quick, athletic 76ers forced 17 turnovers and, more devastatingly, scored 29 points off of them. They piled up 21 fast-break points to the Bulls' four.
Thaddeus Young scored 19 points for the Sixers. C.J Watson scored 20 points for the Bulls.
In Dallas, Russell Westbrook scored 33 points as Oklahoma City downed defending champion Dallas 95-86.
Kevin Durant added 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder, who limited Dallas to 8-for-38 shooting from the field in the second half.
Jason Terry had 26 points for the undermanned Mavericks, whose three-game winning streak ended.
In Milwaukee, Brandon Jennings scored 31 points, including three 3-pointers in a critical stretch of the fourth quarter, to lead Milwaukee to their second win over highly rated Miami this season. The Bucks won 105-97.
Jennings also had eight assists while Drew Gooden added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks, who have won three straight.
