MIAMI: LeBron James had his best game yet for the Philadelphia 76ers, who bounced back with a 127-121 win in Chicago on Sunday over a Bulls side that has now lost seven straight NBA games.

Veteran superstar James scored 22 points – his highest tally since joining the Sixers this summer – and a return to form after a paltry eight points in Friday's disappointing loss to Cleveland.

James also had five assists while Jaylen Brown top-scored with 29, Tyrese Maxey poured in 27 and Joel Embiid pulled down 10 rebounds.

The star-studded Sixers have lost just twice so far this season, for their best start after 11 games since 2000.
