The Philadelphia 76ers continued the road trip on Saturday when they paid a visit to the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls looking to build off a win in Toronto. The Sixers were able to earn a gritty win and now they needed to just grow off the effort.
The Sixers welcomed Joel Embiid back into the lineup after missing Friday’s win while recovering from a right knee injury and he led Philadelphia in this one with 25 points and seven rebounds with four assists. Due to his contributions, the Sixers were able to come away with a 114-109 win over the pesky Bulls.
Tobias Harris added 13 points and five rebounds, Tyrese Maxey had 14 and five rebounds, James Harden had 15 points on 2-for-13 shooting, but 11-for-11 from the line, 11 assists, and six rebounds, and PJ Tucker had eight and five boards. De’Anthony Melton added 10 off the bench and Georges Niang had 15 huge points.
Here are the player grades following the win:
