The Philadelphia 76ers took a narrow victory over the Chicago Bulls in a tightly fought matchup on Monday night. The 76ers managed to fend off a late surge from the Bulls to take the win, 107-105. The victory was a much-needed one for the 76ers, who have been struggling as of late.
The game was close all the way through, with neither team able to pull away for any significant period of time. The Bulls had the lead for much of the fourth quarter, but the 76ers refused to give up and managed to claw their way back into the game. With just a few seconds left on the clock, Tobias Harris hit a clutch three-pointer to give the 76ers the lead and the eventual win.
Joel Embiid Leads the Way
The 76ers were led by their star center, Joel Embiid. Embiid was a force on both ends of the court, finishing with 31 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists. He was aggressive on the offensive end, attacking the rim and drawing fouls. He also made his presence known on the defensive end, blocking shots and altering shots.
Embiid was not the only one to shine for the 76ers, however. Tobias Harris had a big game, as he scored 25 points and added 10 rebounds. Ben Simmons had a double-double, with 11 points and 10 assists. Al Horford chipped in with 17 points and seven rebounds. The 76ers had a balanced attack and it paid off in the end.
Bulls Struggle From Beyond the Arc
The Bulls had a solid performance from their star player, Zach LaVine. LaVine finished with a game-high 35 points and eight rebounds. He was aggressive on the offensive end and got to the free-throw line 11 times. The rest of the Bulls, however, struggled from beyond the arc. They shot just 7-of-33 from three-point range, and that proved to be the difference in the game.
The Bulls were able to stay in the game thanks to the play of their bench. Coby White, Shaquille Harrison and Thaddeus Young all provided the Bulls with a spark off the bench. They were able to keep the game close, but it wasn't enough to get the win.

In the end, the 76ers managed to come away with the win. It was a hard-fought victory, but one that the 76ers desperately needed. With the win, the 76ers have now won three of their last four games and are inching closer to a playoff berth. The Bulls, meanwhile, will look to get back in the win column in their next game.
