With the 76ers locked into the No. 3 seed in the East, they rested all five of their starters against the Bulls for the regular-season finale. Even with the Bulls trotting out their G League crew, I thought we would see a competitive game.
Nope.
The Bulls never led and got smoked from the opening tip, going down by as many as 36 points before making it somewhat “respectable” with a 45-point fourth quarter to finish with a 125-109 loss. Hilariously enough, the Bulls started and ended their season with 40-plus-point quarters, and they lost both of those games by a whole lot.
