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 Sixers’ effort was abysmal to start the game before a late comeback attempt was thwarted by buzzer-beating offensive rebound.

The Sixers came out of the break relatively healthy but it didn’t matter as they got absolutely steamrolled on their home court by the defending champion Celtics.
