The Chicago Bulls (40 - 26) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (14 - 50) 104 - 95 on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. With 43 seconds left in the game, Jerami Grant went to the free throw line and converted on both of his attempts to put the Sixers up by three. Aaron Brooks then went on to hit a three - pointer to tie the game at 92 with just over 30 seconds left in regulation. Luc Mbah A Moute had a shot to win it for the Sixers at the buzzer, but he missed and forced the game into overtime. Once overtime started though, the Bulls did n't look back, as they out - scored the Sixers 12 - 3 and finished the game with a nine - point win on the road in Philadelphia. Including the clutch three - point shot that helped the Bulls extend this game to overtime, Brooks also went on to post a team - high of 31 points (12 - 20 FG, 3 - 7 3PT, 4 - 6 FT), to go along with four rebounds and five assists. He has now shot over 40 percent from the field in three games straight, a stretch where he's averaged 23 points and four assists per game. Also playing a big factor in the win was Pau Gasol. Gasol went 13 - for - 25 from the field for 27 points, while adding a team - high of 16 rebounds in 43 minutes. The double - double marked his six straight, while he's posted 10 or more rebounds in each of his last 10 games as well. On the season, he's pushed his averages to 18 points and 12 rebounds per game. Notching a double - double of his own, Nikola Mirotic finished with 16 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT) and 12 rebounds as a member of the starting lineup. Joakim Noah had to sit out with an injury, forcing Gasol to move center, which opened a spot up for Mirotic at power forward. He's combined for 34 points and 24 rebounds over his last two games. The only other Bull to reach double figures in points was Tony Snell, who recorded 10 points (2 - 9 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT) and 10 rebounds in 45 minutes. With Isaiah Canaan dealing with an illness, the Sixers decided to bring him off the bench, while inserting Ish Smith as a starter. It was a successful switch for this team, as each scored 20 or more points despite the loss. Smith went off for 23 points (9 - 21 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and six assists in 37 minutes. The points were a new season - high for the guard, as it marked just the fourth time he's reached double - digits in points. Canaan, on the other hand, went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 4 - for - 8 from the three - point line for 20 points in 29 minutes off the bench, as his illness did n't seem to limit him much. While his season averages sit at 8 points and 2 rebounds per game, he's received many more opportunities since joining the Sixers at the trade deadline. Over 10 games with the Sixers, he's averaging 14 points and 4 assists. Nerlens Noel did n't do all too much offensively and posted just eight points, but he did chip in with 15 rebounds, four steals and two blocked shots in 36 minutes. Coming off the bench, Robert Covington added 12 points (5 - 13 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 1 - 3 FT) in 21 minutes off the bench. The Sixers' next game will be at home against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, while the Bulls will travel to Charlotte to play the Hornets on Friday.
