NBA: Bulls edge 76ers thriller; Magic see off Timberwolves; Mavericks punish Jazz

Mike Dunleavy scored 12 of his 27 points in the third quarter as Chicago Bulls clinched a tense 118-115 NBA victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

Dunleavy's season-high haul means the Bulls have now made a 4-0 road start - their best since going 6-0 away to start the 1996-97 season - and Jimmy Butler (23) and Pau Gasol (17) were also among the points at the Wells Fargo Center.
