The Bulls suffered a second straight loss to the Sixers on Saturday night, this time at the United Center with a final score of 114-105. While the Sixers are a good team even with all their absences, this was a game in which Chicago needed to make a statement and win on its home court. There was no Ben Simmons (obviously), Tobias Harris, Danny Green, Matisse Thybulle or Isaiah Joe available, so Philly went with an eight-man rotation.
Instead, the Bulls came out flat and then tried to make another big comeback after a brutal 15-0 second-quarter run gave the Sixers some breathing room in the first half.
