CHICAGO - Never mind that sluggish opener.LeBron James scored 36 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers rebounded from a home loss to New York to beat Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls 114-108 in overtime Friday night.It was an opportunity to go out and redeem ourselves, James said.James was 14 of 30 from the field and had eight rebounds, four steals and only three turnovers after going 5 of 15 and turning it over eight times Thursday night against New York in his return to Cleveland after four seasons in Miami.The first meeting between teams expected to fight for the Eastern Conference title was tight, with several late swings.Tonight, we played good basketball, Cleveland coach David Blatt said after his first NBA victory. Tonight was just about playing well and consistently throughout. We did that. We beat a very good team tonight. We did not have an easy way coming off the game last night.Derrick Rose scored 20 points for Chicago, but his first meaningful home game in about a year was spoiled by a sprained left ankle. Sidelined for most of the past two seasons by knee injuries, he came up hobbling in the first half and went to the locker room in the fourth quarter.Cleveland rallied from five down in the closing minute of regulation after blowing a nine-point lead to start the fourth quarter.James took over in OT, flipping in a wild reverse layup and scoring Clevelands first eight points in the extra period.Tristan Thompson iced it with a dunk after rebounding James jumper to make it a four-point game with 24 seconds left. Thompson tied a franchise record with 12 offensive rebounds.Here are some things we learned from James first victory in his return to the Cavaliers:BOARD BATTLE: Yes, James had a strong night. But what really impressed him was the Cavaliers effort on the boards.They outrebounded Chicago 52-42 after getting beaten on the glass by New York.Were one of the best rebounding teams in the league as well, James said. (Thursday) night we got outrebounded, thats something we cannot do ever. We have to trust in Andy (Anderson Varejao) and Kevin (Love). We should be up there, tied for rebounding or winning. We cant shy away from contact.Thompson, who was hoping to land a contract extension before the deadline, finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Love, Clevelands other big off-season addition, has 16 points and 16 rebounds.Tristan was unbelievable, James said. He had one defensive rebound, 12 offensive rebounds — thats a mans man game right there, and Kevin had a double-double.MORE TO COME?: With James and Love joining Irving in Cleveland and Rose leading a deep roster in Chicago, the Cavaliers and Bulls just might be duking it out the next few years.Theyre a very good team, Hinrich said. Obviously, theyre as talented as anybody one-two-three. Their bigs are very good at getting little things and complementing their other guys. I know theyre going to be a tough out, no question.BALANCED BULLS: Chicagos Kirk Hinrich came on strong at the end to finish with 20 points. Pau Gasol scored 15 points, and Mike Dunleavy Jr. added 14.EXTENSION, NO EXTENSION: Cleveland signed Varejao to a contract extension Friday. He was in position to become a free agent this summer.

The NFC East champions agreed to a five-year contract with wide receiver Riley Cooper and a seven-year deal with centre Jason Kelce on Thursday. They gave All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters a new five-year deal a day earlier. "Its a great reflection of ownership, a credit to Jeffrey Lurie for the flexibility to do what we need to be successful," general manager Howie Roseman said. Cooper wouldve become a free agent next month after a breakout season in which he set career highs in receptions (47), yards receiving (835) and touchdowns (eight). His deal is worth $25 million over five years with about $10 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the contract who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms werent announced. "Riley is one of the toughest and hardest-working guys in our locker room," coach Chip Kelly said. "We talk a lot about how players have to make the most of their opportunities, and he did just that last year. He used his size, strength and speed to make a lot of big plays for our team and Im excited to watch him build upon his success." Cooper has come a long way since leaving the Eagles for three days during training camp after using a racial slur. "I didnt test free agency because I wanted to be here," he said. "I wanted to be in Philly from the get-go." Kelce was signed through 2016, and the new deeal adds four years to his contract.dddddddddddd Overall, its worth $37.5 million with $13 million guaranteed, according to the person familiar with the deals. "The numbers just sounded right," Kelce said. Kelce was part of an offensive line that helped the Eagles lead the NFL in rushing while setting a franchise record for points (442). "Jason is the epitome of the type of player we want around here, both on and off the field," Kelly said. "Hes tough, extremely intelligent and is a leader by his actions and by his words. His athleticism is something that really sticks out when you watch him play. There arent many centres that can get down the field like he does." Roseman said the signings wont affect the teams draft plans. The Eagles shifted their focus from drafting for needs to drafting the best players available on the board a couple years ago. The results have been successful picks. "A lot has changed since 2011, starting with team philosophy," Roseman said. "Im proud of the process weve developed to set ourselves up to contend." The Eagles were 10-6 and won the NFC East title in Kellys first season as coach after going 4-12 in 2012. Cooper blossomed in his first season as a starter after Jeremy Maclin went down for the season with a knee injury in camp. Maclin, a former first-round pick, is scheduled to be a free agent, but the Eagles are hoping to bring him back. "He fits into our chemistry and what were trying to do," Roseman said.
