The Bulls had no answers for Joel Embiid, as the Tuesday rematch in Philadelphia was all but over by halftime.

PHILADELPHIA – The slip ups by the 76ers this season have been few.

Of the 10 losses they’ve suffered in the 2023-24 campaign so far, only the Celtics and Bulls had bragging rights on beating Philadelphia twice.

Tuesday in the City of Brotherly Love was simply retribution, and then some.

A 20-8 run by the home team to start the game, a first quarter in which the 76ers scored 43 points, and by halftime the Bulls finding themselves in a 31-point crater against one of the better defensive teams in the Eastern Conference, well, go ahead and start warming the buses early.
