Spencer Hawes scored 22 points and Jrue Holiday had 20 to help the surprising Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 89-82 on Sunday and take a 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series. Andre Iguodala had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won the last three games after losing Game 1. Holiday stretched the lead with consecutive 3-pointers late in the game to put the Sixers one win away from joining the shortlist of eighth-seeded teams that have won a series against a No. 1 seed. Game 5 is Tuesday in Chicago.
