The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the host Chicago Bulls, 117 - 107, at United Center on Friday. Chicago was expected to win this game easily, but Philadelphia had other ideas. They did most of their damage in the middle quarters, as they outscored the Bulls, 69 - 43, in the second and third quarter. Shooting was the glaring difference, with the Sixers shooting 55 percent to the Bulls 41 percent. Philadelphia also took care of the glass, winning the rebounding battle, 46 - 39. It was n't just the rebounding, as the Sixers outscored the Bulls, 70 - 30, in the paint. The Sixers (27 - 45) have really struggled recently, but they're still playing as hard as anyone. Dario Saric led the way, as he collected 32 points and 10 rebounds. T.J. McConnell was the only other starter in double figures, as he accrued 10 points, five rebounds, eight assists and three steals.
