Philadelphia, PA – The Chicago Bulls were expected to embrace a rebuilding phase, but Josh Giddey and Kevin Huerter had other ideas. Instead of rolling over, the duo led the Bulls to a dominant 123-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, silencing any talk of tanking.
Giddey & Huerter Take Control
From the opening minutes, Chicago set the tone. Josh Giddey, a recent addition to the team, played like a leader, filling the stat sheet with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. His composure and playmaking dictated the pace of the game.
Meanwhile, Kevin Huerter was unstoppable from beyond the arc, knocking down six three-pointers on his way to 27 points. His sharpshooting kept the Sixers on their heels as the Bulls refused to take their foot off the gas.
“We’re here to compete,” Giddey said after the game. “No one in this locker room is thinking about losing on purpose.”
76ers Struggle Without Embiid
On the other side, the 76ers looked outmatched, clearly missing their star Joel Embiid. Despite solid efforts from Tyrese Maxey (21 points) and Tobias Harris (18 points), Philadelphia lacked the firepower to keep up with Chicago’s relentless energy.
“They hit us hard early, and we never recovered,” Harris admitted.
What’s Next for Chicago?
This emphatic win raises questions about the Bulls’ future. While many expected them to prioritize draft positioning, their recent performances suggest they might be aiming for a late-season playoff push instead.
With Giddey and Huerter leading the way, the Bulls might not be backing down anytime soon. One thing is certain—they’re not playing to lose.
