Welcome to Run It Back! In this weekly series, we will summarize the week overall and recap each Sixers game from the previous week (Sunday to Saturday).
The week started for the Sixers on Monday night hosting the Chicago Bulls for the first leg of a home-and-home. After regulation and two overtimes, the hosts fell 109-105 to the Bulls in what was most notably a horrendous game for James Harden — likely the worst he’s played in a Sixers jersey. After the game in which he played 47 minutes, head coach Doc Rivers revealed that Harden was dealing with left Achilles soreness and was “hurting”.
