The Philadelphia 76ers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Monday night, dropping a very winnable game at home to the Chicago Bulls, 108-104. Despite entering the night as questionable with a sore hamstring, Joel Embiid was excellent, tallying 40 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists. Tyrese Maxey was excellent in the fourth quarter, scoring 15 points in the period, and finished with 29 points overall.
The finger-pointing for the defeat, then, has to begin with the supporting cast. Sixers aside from Embiid and Maxey combined for just 35 points on 14-of-37 shooting from the field.
