The Boston Celtics blasted the Chicago Bulls 118-90 on Saturday to maintain their unbeaten start to the new NBA season.

Paul Pierce and Eddie House each scored 22 points while Ray Allen contributed 20 as the Celtics improved to 3-0.

The meeting was a rematch of the epic seven-game series between the teams in the first round of last year's playoffs.

Boston outscored the Bulls 67-44 over the second and third quarters to seize control.

Joakim Noah had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Jannero Pargo had 13 points for the Bulls, who appeared sluggish in their second game in as many nights.

Chicago opened the season with a 92-85 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
