76ers 126, Bulls 107 — NBA Recap

📰Game Recap

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls, pulling away late after establishing control early in the contest. Philadelphia took a 30-23 lead in the first quarter, fueled by Tyrese Maxey's offensive orchestration. Maxey finished the game with 26 points and 11 assists, demonstrating his impact from the outset.

While Chicago responded with a 36-point second quarter, led by Caleb Wilson's 24-point performance, Philadelphia still held a narrow lead heading into halftime. The 76ers then reasserted their dominance in the third quarter, outscoring the Bulls 26-20. Jaylen Brown contributed a double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds, while VJ Edgecombe added 21 points on efficient shooting, bolstering Philadelphia's attack throughout the middle quarters.

Philadelphia continued to expand its advantage in the fourth quarter, posting 36 points to Chicago's 28 and securing the comfortable victory. Despite Norman Powell adding 18 points for the Bulls, the collective scoring prowess of Maxey, Brown, and Edgecombe proved too much for Chicago.
