Philadelphia 76ers 116, Chicago Bulls 91 (Final)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Dave Early @DavidEarly
“[Joel Embiid] has easily pulled ahead right now I think in terms of the MVP balloting, doing it more often than not on both, *both* ends of the floor.”

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Huge win for the Lakers. Now one game back in the loss column of the sixth-place Warriors with three winnable games (Oklahoma City, two with Chicago) ahead. And LeBron inching towards a return. – 12:38 AM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
The Sixers pummeled the Bulls in Chicago from the opening jump-ball to the final buzzer on Wednesday, riding a team effort to avenge Monday’s loss to the same team in Philadelphia:

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Joel Embiid said he started feeling tightness in his calf during Monday’s game against the Bulls, and that it popped up again during tonight’s first half. He got treatment in the locker room and said being held out was “precautionary.” – 11:23 PM
Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
it ain’t much, but it’s honest work. pic.twitter.com/Z7dLJvSx6G11:23 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Nikola Vucevic also said he doesn’t think DeMar DeRozan’s injury is serious. Said lopsided score might’ve played factor in his exit. – 11:00 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid both expressed optimism that his calf tightness is mild and that he will be able to play Friday at Golden State (or soon after). – 10:50 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
No updates from DeMar DeRozan himself tonight on that right quad injury.
Billy Donovan said he’s still been dealing with that lingering injury since before the All-Star break and hit a threshold where he could not play through it anymore tonight. – 10:44 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
Billy Donovan compared tonight’s Bulls loss to coming back from Milwaukee tied at one game apiece in the first round of last year’s playoffs before the Bucks won by 30 in Game 3.
“It started from the beginning,” Donovan said. pic.twitter.com/4N6I1b2OMV10:42 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
On the broadcast, Doc Rivers said expects Harden (Achilles) to be back for Friday’s game against the Warriors, “but I can’t guarantee that.”
“We’re gonna do whatever we can to be healthy.”
Also said that he’s not worried about Embiid (calf tightness) and expects him to play. – 10:40 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Rivers asked if he expects Harden back on Friday: “I do, but I can’t guarantee that” – 10:40 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Doc Rivers on his level of concern re: Embiid
“Not much, not at all really, I think he’ll be ready for next game…whenever you hear calf you just say, that’s it. But not concerned.” – 10:37 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Rivers adds he expects Harden to also be back Friday. Can’t guarantee it, but says that’s the expectation
But the Sixers want to remain cautious above all: “we’ve gone in the playoffs two years in a row with injuries” – 10:37 PM

Mild right calf tightness for Joel Embiid, who is expected to play Friday in Golden State. Embiid did not appear for the entire second half.
The Sixers beat Chicago, 116-91 (I have no idea why I mess up the score every time). They are are 49-23. – 10:32 PM

Final: Sixers 116, Bulls 91.
Brutal night for the home team. Chicago never led and trailed by as many as 31 points.
DeMar DeRozan exited in the third with a right quad strain. – 10:26 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Well that was something. Bulls drop a 116-91 loss to the 76ers, who led by 31 in the worst of it.
That snaps a three-game win streak and reduces their edge over the Indiana Pacers for the last play-in spot. – 10:26 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
76ers 116, Bulls 91
Bulls are now 0-5 in attempts to post first 4-game win streak of season
Bulls remain in 10th and trail Raptors by 1.5 games, lead Pacers by 1.5 games and don’t own either tiebreaker
Now, how serious is DeRozan’s quad strain . . . – 10:26 PM

Identical back-to-back to Miami a few weeks ago: Lose an ugly slugfest at home, win going away on the road without one of Embiid/Harden.
Not as triumphant this time around, though, considering the mysterious circumstances that saw Embiid not return for the entire second half. – 10:20 PM

Celtics play 6 of their final 9 at home starting Friday.
The Knicks loss in Miami reduces Boston’s magic number for first round home court to 1. – 10:17 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
Would be a good time to get Javonte Green some run to get his game legs back. But Patrick Beverley come back with 6:16 left. – 10:12 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
If I HAD to guess I think maybe Embiid opted for an early treatment on an achey something or other. And the team genuinely wasn’t sure about his availability for a solid 20 minutes given the score.
Makes little sense he wouldn’t start that third or at least join bench otherwise. – 10:09 PM
Philadelphia 76ers @sixers
another fitting score after 3!
🪙 @cryptocom pic.twitter.com/BGZabrBBhg10:03 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Pacers, playing without Tyrese Haliburton, beat Raptors on road. They’ll pull to within 1.5 games of the Bulls if Bulls lose and own tiebreaker. – 9:57 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
We’ll see if there’s anything else going on.
In Charlotte on Friday, Embiid went back to the locker room and never returned for the fourth quarter. It would be pretty unorthodox to do that for an entire half, though. – 9:57 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
The text I got on Embiid was, “with the big lead, it’s unlikely he returns” which is sort of a half explanation to me, but that’s what I (and everyone else) got 🤷‍♂️ – 9:56 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
The Sixers blew a 28 point lead to the Cavs in 30 seconds. I know this isn’t the Cavaliers, but Embiid not even returning to the bench for second half might signal he’s getting an early treatment of some sort, fair? – 9:56 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
They just said on the broadcast that Joel Embiid will not return “because of the score differential,” citing a team official.
Certainly a risk, but so far, so good for the Sixers. Still up 20+. – 9:54 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Because of the score differential, Joel Embiid will not return tonight — @katetscott – 9:52 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
A right quad strain has knocked DeRozan out for the rest of this one, according to Bulls PR.
DeRozan finished with four points, the fewest points he’s scored in a game since joining the Bulls.
It’s the fewest points DeRozan has scored finishing with two points on Nov. 25, 2017. – 9:50 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Very strange to have gone nearly an entire quarter and have no update on Joel Embiid, who didn’t come out with the team to start the 3rd quarter.
The Sixers are up 91-69 with 2:31 left in the 3rd, so they might not need him, but fans are understandably a bit on edge. – 9:50 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
DeMar DeRozan – right quad strain. Will not return. – 9:48 PM

He scored 4 points and went 0-7 shooting in 21 minutes, but walked toward the locker room and took his jersey off earlier in the third quarter – 9:43 PM

Embiid has six assists, but he has created way more baskets and quality shots.
He has put on a playmaking clinic from the nail and elbow. – 9:11 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Really impressive first half here from the Sixers.
Getting out to a big early lead can work against you if the team gets complacent — Sixers weathered Chicago’s bounce back run, have now pushed the lead to 30. Ball is flying around the floor. – 9:11 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Biggest thing Sixers have done better thus far tonight is handle secondary pressure.
Chicago has doubled, shaded, and tried to trap the ball all over the floor, regardless of which Sixer has it, and they’ve all made some really good reads that they just didn’t make on Monday. – 8:55 PM

Some said OKC’s rebuild was more tanky than the Process 76ers.
Philly:
19-63
18-64
10-72 (3rd worst record of all time)
OKC:
22-50
24-58
36-36 (possible playoffs)
If not for the shortened season, OKC likely has more wins their first 2 seasons than Philly’s first 3 seasons. – 5:06 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
We have Bucks-Nuggets coming on Saturday and then 76ers-Nuggets on Monday. There should be a leaguewide moratorium on MVP discussions until then. – 4:54 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
This isn’t a critique of Embiid. Embiid is a really good passer for a center now.
But there are are good passers, and then there are PASSERS.
Jokić is just in his own stratosphere as a playmaker at his position. – 4:37 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Nikola Jokić has recorded more total assists this season (634) than in any previous season of his career.
He’s six assists off pace of averaging exactly 10.0 per game.
I know a lot of people are numb to his stats, but 634 is twice as much as Embiid has ever had in a season. – 4:35 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
We see you in the fit 🔥

Interesting how the basketball universe is rearranging the planets in the final three weeks of the season. The Bulls get the 76ers who may be without an ailing James Harden. LeBron may miss the Bulls game. Paul George out vs Bulls . Portland has lost six straight-9 under .500. – 3:18 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Jalen McDaniels is now questionable for tonight’s matchup with the Bulls due to right hip soreness #Sixers3:02 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Jalen McDaniels has been added to the Sixers’ injury report, listed as questionable with that right hip soreness. He has played in the past two games, but has looked visibly uncomfortable.
James Harden (Achilles soreness) and P.J. Tucker (ankle soreness) are still questionable. – 2:55 PM
