CHICAGO -- Dwyane Wade got the ball in the corner, took a dribble to his left and stepped back for the dagger 3-pointer.He made a throat slashing gesture with his right hand after the ball swished through the net and started jumping around as the crowd roared.Wade scored 22 points in a triumphant Chicago debut, Jimmy Butler had 24 and the Bulls won their season opener, beating the Boston Celtics 105-99 on Thursday night.Wade hit the clinching 3 with 26.3 seconds left. Taj Gibson added 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the new-look Bulls got off to a winning start after missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2008.To be able to make a shot like that and helps us get this win, its like the perfect storm, Wade said.Isaiah Thomas led Boston with 25 points. Avery Bradley had 16, and Jae Crowder 14 points, but the Celtics came up short after opening with a win over Brooklyn the previous night.We lost the game in a fashion we didnt want to lose, Crowder said. I feel like we got punked all night.The Bulls remade their roster in the offseason, jettisoning one hometown superstar and welcoming another when they traded Derrick Rose to New York and signed Wade to a two-year deal worth about $47 million in a move that stunned Miami.The three-time NBA champion and 12-time All-Star is off to a good start with the Bulls after 13 seasons with the Heat. Wade hit 4 of 6 3-pointers in this game after making just 7 of 44 all of last season.Rajon Rondo, signed by Chicago after a resurgent season with Sacramento, added nine assists. Butler had seven rebounds, and the Bulls pounded the Celtics on the glass 55-36.They showed a scrappiness and edge that was missing last season. They were unselfish, passing the ball around, and hit 11 of 25 3-pointers.I think everybodys having fun out there, Butler said.HANGING ONThe Bulls were leading 95-81 midway through the fourth quarter after newcomer Michael Carter-Williams buried a 3 and a floater and Butler hit a floater of his own.The Celtics scored 11 straight to get back into it, a driving layup by Thomas cutting it to 95-92.It was 101-99 when Bostons Jaylen Brown got called for a travel. Wade then nailed that 3 over Bradley to make it a five-point game with 26.3 seconds left, sealing the win for Chicago.Were learning each other, Wade said. Were learning what we have in those types of moments at the end of ballgames and those types of moments.TEMPERS FLAREButler had some heated words with college teammate Crowder late in the first half.Crowder rebounded a miss by Wade -- another Marquette product -- and charged into Butler, leading to a heated exchange.Rondo also got into it with Isaiah Thomas, and all four players got called for technicals.Jaes my guy, Butler said. Its the heat of the moment. Thats whats supposed to happen.TIP-INSCeltics: Boston coach Brad Stevens said Rondo made a good impression on him during their time together in Boston. I thought he was very bright obviously, he understood the game, he can make passes in small areas that I have never seen before, Stevens said. And I tried to coach him like I would coach anybody else. The only thing I would say that you have to be yourself so I coached him like I would coach anybody else.Rondo was working his way back from a torn ACL in his right knee and played in 30 games during Stevens first season -- 2013-14. He started 22 games the following year for Boston before being dealt to Dallas.Bulls: The Bulls signed former Celtics first-round draft pick R.J. Hunter. The guard from Georgia State was let go by Boston this week in what Stevens called a numbers crunch. We had more than 15 NBA players so it was just a matter of time who he was going to get picked up by, Stevens said. I think the way that he plays fits with how they like to play.UP NEXTCeltics: At Charlotte on Saturday.Bulls: Host Indiana on Saturday. Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. Air Max 360 Mens . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. http://www.fundfdr.org/ .

The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose. Nike Air Max Tn Womens . For the Wild it was their first win of the season and they now have a record of 1-1-2 while the Jets fall to 2-2. Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is piling up interceptions at an alarming rate -- nine in the last two games -- but he apparently doesnt have to worry about losing his job just yet.Coach Todd Bowles said his confidence level in Fitzpatrick is no different than when the season started.Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions Sunday in a 27-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, bringing his season total to 10. His fourth-quarter total is eight, including three Sunday.The last Jets quarterback to throw nine interceptions in a two-game span was Joe Namath in 1970, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Prior to that, it was done by Dick Wood in 1964.The Jets alternative is former starter Geno Smith, but they signed Fitzpatrick to a one-year, $12 million contract and still believe hes their best option.The embattled quarterback still has the support of the locker room, especially receiver?Brandon Marshall, who bristled when asked if the team needs to evaluate the quarterback position.I am -- going down -- in the boat -- with Ryan Fitzpatrick, said the veteran wide receiver, pausing every couple of words for emphasis. OK? You got that? So can you not ask me anymore questions about that? I am going down in the booat with No.dddddddddddd 14.Fitzpatrick played well for three quarters, but the game turned when a back-shoulder pass for Marshall was picked off by cornerback Richard Sherman early in the fourth quarter. The Jets trailed 17-10 at the time.Fitzpatricks second interception went off rookie receiver?Robby Andersons hands, and the third came in the final minute, a desperation throw. Fitzpatricks job security will be a hot issue, but Bowles insisted hes not worried about that.I dont worry about questions about his play, I just worry about turnovers, he said. He knows he cant have turnovers. Some of them are unfortunate and not the quarterbacks fault, but nevertheless the quarterback runs the offense, so he cant turn the ball over. We have to get better there.Fitzpatrick endured a rough patch last season but ended up having a career year?and rallied the team to a 10-6 record. Once again, he has doubters.For me, thats been my whole career, he said. Its not anything new for me. I just have to continue to prepare and try to be the best guy I can be every Sunday, whether thats coming off a good game or a bad game. ' ' '
