The Bulls (5 - 3) cruised to a 111 - 88 victory over the 76ers (0 - 7) at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. Nikola Mirotic led the way for Chicago, breaking out of a shooting slump to score 20 points (6 - 11 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT) and collect 10 rebounds in 28 minutes. Pau Gasol nearly posted his third consecutive double - double, but fell a rebound short, finishing with 16 points, nine boards and six blocks. With the loss, the Sixers remain winless this season, and turned in another awful performance on defense. Joakim Noah, who was expected to return to the Bulls starting five Monday, did not play due to soreness in his knee. Mirotic replaced Noah prior to tip - off and took advantage of the opportunity to prove he deserves the starting PF spot. It's unclear if Noah will miss more time, but he's dealt with plenty of injuries throughout his eight - year career. In his third start of the season, Doug McDermott shot 7 - of - 15 from the field and hit from distance three out of six times for 18 points. Philadelphia was also without a key big man, as Nerlens Noel did not play due to a wrist injury and is considered day - to - day. With Noel out, Richaun Holmes made the start, scoring 11 points with three rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes. Jahlil Okafor continued his impressive rookie campaign with 21 points and 15 rebounds for his first career double - double. The Bulls will head back to Chicago for a matchup Friday against the Hornets. Philadelphia will wrap up a three - game homestand Wednesday against the Raptors.
