On Jan. 17, the Chicago Bulls found themselves fumbling away another decisive first half lead to an opponent with a winning record. The Bulls wound up falling short against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night by the final score of 100-89. Chicago couldn’t hold on after taking a slim lead into the locker room at halftime.
Managing to close that game out on national television to beat a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference like the Sixers would be a great way to shed a more positive light on head coach Jim Boylen and his squad.
