DeMar DeRozan said the remining games left on the schedule were the “most important of our career right now.” The Bulls played like it in Philadelphia on Monday.

PHILADELPHIA — Here’s some friendly advice from one Philly guy to another.

“If you go and lay the ball up against me, nine times out of 10, I’m going to go get it,’’ Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. said matter-of-factly.

Jones, who grew up just outside Philadelphia in Chester, Pennsylvania, did get 76ers guard James Harden’s shot.

And the Bulls added yet another victory in a season of improbable wins and deflating inconsistencies.
