Embiid explodes, Sixers rout: Bulls pound Philadelphia 76ers at home

The Philadelphia 76ers’ six-game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Monday night as they fell to the Chicago Bulls by a score of 108-104. Despite an impressive 40-point, 14-rebound and six-assist performance from Joel Embiid, the Philly 76ers stumbled against a Zach LaVine-less Bulls team at the Wells Fargo Center.

Embiid shines, Sixers struggle: Reigning MVP Embiid paced the Sixers’ offense with his dominant performance, but Tyrese Maxey (29 points, eight assists) was the only Philadelphia player to score in double figures. The supporting cast, including Paul Reed and De’Anthony Melton, failed to provide enough firepower to overcome the Bulls’ tenacious play.

BULLS SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY: The Bulls were missing their starting point guard, but they took advantage of the Sixers’ defensive lapses and erratic shooting. Kobe White (24 points, 9 assists) led the Bulls with his scoring and organizational skills, while Ayo Dosunmu (22 points) and Nikola Vucevic (18 points, 11 rebounds) also made valuable contributions.
