So, that’s the weirdest blowout win ever, right?
The Sixers bounced back by throttling the Chicago Bulls 116-91 Wednesday night. Joel Embiid put up just 12 points, before sitting the entire second half due to “score differential” and a reported right calf strain.
His teammates made sure it was no problem as De’Anthony Melton had a game-high 25 points along with four rebounds, four assists and four steals. Tyrese Maxey scored 21 points and shot 4 of 8 from downtown, and Tobias Harris nearly had a triple-double with 20 points, nine boards and eight assists.
The Sixers were without James Harden, who’s been dealing with Achilles soreness since Monday, as well as Jalen McDaniels, who has not looked right since his hip injury.
