Daily News | Joel Embiid’s 43 points power Sixers to 121-106 victory over Chicago Bulls | Analysis
Joel Embiid drove baseline, threw down a one-handed dunk and scowled, an appropriate celebration for the thunderous jaunt to 40 points about midway through Monday’s fourth quarter against the Bulls.
The Sixers created separation in the third quarter, with a 10-0 run that turned a 68-61 lead into a 17-point advantage. Then, when the Bulls sliced that lead to 90-83 on two DeMar DeRozan free throws early in the fourth, the Sixers answered with two Georges Niang three-pointers and a Harden driving layup to rebuild a 13-point advantage.
It was a terrific bounce-back effort for Embiid following two tough nights against Cleveland and Miami over the weekend. And Embiid’s and Harden’s efforts were needed on a night Tyrese Maxey struggled from the floor until late, when he flipped in a layup through contact and hit a corner three-pointer that gave the Sixers a 111-94 lead with less than five minutes remaining.
Early in the fourth quarter, Jordan tipped an Isaiah Joe missed three out to Niang for the three that put the Sixers back up double digits and then swatted a Derrick Jones layup attempt on the Bulls’ ensuing possession.It’s no surprise Ben Simmons won’t play in Philly. Question is, will he show his face? | David MurphyAfter starting Saturday’s loss in Miami in Harden’s absence, Furkan Korkmaz did not play against the Bulls.
