Conversely, before that, the Bulls were in second place in the Eastern Conference with a 10-17 record.

It didn't take long to start the game before the 76ers took the advantage, and they also took a double-digit advantage. But in the second half, the 76ers suddenly fell into passivity, allowing the Bulls to play wave after wave of offense. Kobe White went berserk, scoring both inside and outside to bring his team back to the lead. In the first quarter of the game, the Bulls took a 25-24 advantage and pulled the 76ers away by one minute.
As soon as the second quarter began, the two sides fought, and neither side scored. Caruso forced the inside line to make it 2+1 and pulled the game back. Jevin. Carter also had three points from the three-point line, and Drummond also made a beautiful turn and blue under the basket, a beautiful hook dunk that made everyone fall in love with it. The Bulls attacked 8-0 and forced the 76ers to pause the game. Reed quickly went to the blue after interception, and House hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to tie the score for the 76ers. Embiid still maintained his good momentum, and in the half, he scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. However, Maxey's play can only be regarded as mediocre, and the 76ers' perimeter defense is not efficient enough. In the first half, the Bulls led the 76ers by 11 points, 55-44.
As soon as the second half began, Embiid exploded, leaning back and hitting a three-pointer to kick off the third quarter. Melton forced a break down the wing and scored two shots, Dosunmu grabbed a powerful offensive rebound, and Embiid hit a three-pointer.

The Bulls have maintained a lead of more than 10 minutes with a full starting lineup, and although DeRozan has been mediocre, the role players are still the backbone of this team. After three quarters, Chicago defeated the 76ers with a score of 81-69.
Entering the second half, Maxey gradually regained his touch, and his perfect combination with Reed allowed the 76ers to only have one point left near the end of the game. But at this critical moment, DeRozan's repeated blues caused great damage to the team and helped the team win. In the end, the 76ers defeated the 76ers 108-104, ending the 76ers' six-game victory.
