The Chicago Bulls defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 126-112, at Wells Fargo Center on Friday.

The Bulls (18-21) keep moving closer to the .500 mark and secured a huge road win against a contender such as the 76ers (23-15), and it was a game in which Chicago had to come from behind despite a slow start. The Sixers grabbed the lead following the first quarter by a 30-25 score, but the Bulls didn’t waste time to turn things around and outscored their rivals by a 34-25 score just before the break, grabbing a four-point lead by halftime. Chicago would pull away for good in the third quarter after outscoring their rivals by a 40-29 score, and that would be all they’d need to close the game out. The 76ers won the final 12 minutes by a 28-27 score, but it wasn’t enough to mount a comeback and the Bulls delivered an easy win. With the victory, Chicago improved to 8-12 on the road while the Sixers fell to 16-6 at home.
