Philadelphia lost 108-104 to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA 2023-24
Joel Embiid (29) of the Philadelphia 76ers set a tremendous record despite his team's loss.
Philadelphia lost 108-104 to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA 2023-24 regular season home game at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the 19th.
On the day, Embiid became the first player for the center to score 30 or more points in 12 consecutive games since Moses Malone in 1982. Embiid's final record was 40 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks.
However, the victory went to Chicago, where Kobe White scored 24 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists, Nikola Vusevic scored 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and Dermadrojan scored 15 points, four rebounds, and five steals.
In the away team Chicago, Jack Lavigne and Tori Craig were absent, while Philadelphia's main members except Marcus Morris played normally.
Maxi, who reported his first goal with a three-point transition shot, showed off his brilliant performance by collaborating with Embiid on a three-point shoot with Pick & Pop. Embiid, who added a pull-up jumper, also dunked in after lightly beating Vucevic in a matchup. However, White, who boasts as good scoring ability as Embiid recently, exploded with 14 points during the upset. In response, Chicago ended the first quarter with a 25-24 lead.
Chicago started to take a big lead, dominating the early second quarter without Embiid. Embiid, who was deployed from the bench, not only boasted of his teamwork with Maxi but also continued to harass Vucevic and even drew his technical foul. However, Vucevic did his part in offense, and DeRozan and White alternately produced scoring runs. Thus, Chicago headed to the locker room with a 55-44 lead.
In the third quarter, Philadelphia became extremely dependent on Embiid. Maxi fought hard, but other Philadelphia players had no intention of returning to their fieldwork. In contrast, Chicago faced its final quarter with a big 81-69 lead, with Bussevic scoring inside and out, and White and Zevon Carter pointing the organic ballflow to three-pointers.
However, Chicago's sense of fieldwork cooled dramatically in the fourth quarter, and Paul Reed, Robert Covington, and Patrick Beverley boosted the team's defense. Maxi quickly took the lead when he put in a floater after two step-back 3-pointers and a breakthrough. Williams then pulled back with a back-to-back 3-pointer. DeRozan dunked Philadelphia eventually called for a timeout to reorganize.
Embiid, who entered the clutch, helped Ubre Jr.'s 3-pointer through a skip pass, but Vusevic responded with a 3-pointer after Pick & Pop. Later, when Embiid scored with Vusevic's defense down, Mexici made a one-foration game again with a pull-up 3-pointer after Embiid and Pick & Roll. DeRozan spilled one free throw, but stood back on the free-throw line as he defended his valuable rebound. 스포츠토토사이트
