Whether the Sixers were trying to lose or not, they sure did so in a big way against a bad and shorthanded Bulls team.

The Philadelphia 76ers are walking away from this weekend back-to-back with two wins, defeating the Chicago Bulls Saturday night just 24 hours after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Sixers shouldn’t tank the rest of the 2024-25 season — and even if they wanted to, it’s not very practical.

Joel Embiid made his triumphant return and Tyrese Maxey recorded his first career triple-double as the Sixers took care of business against the Bulls.
