76ers 98, Bulls 82
Andre Igoudala collected 19 points, nine rebounds and four assists while leading a strong defensive effort as the Philadelphia 76ers took down the visiting Chicago Bulls, 98-82, on Wednesday.
Thaddeus Young added 19 points and eight boards and Jrue Holiday chipped in 17 points and five assists for the 76ers, who have won four straight.
Chicago has met two division leaders three games into its nine-game road trip and has fallen to both. The Bulls were in it until the final crushing seconds Sunday at Miami but let it slip away much earlier on Wednesday.
Philadelphia took a 49-44 lead into the half and made its big move out of the break, outscoring Chicago 26-11 in the third quarter.
Iguodala and Holiday scored all the points during a 13-3 run to begin the frame and Holiday capped the period with a 3-pointer, sending the 76ers into the fourth with a 75-55 edge.
The Bulls kept Derrick Rose on the bench for the fourth quarter, hoping to keep their star healthy for the rest of the trip. Rose finished with 18 points - snapping a string of three straight games with at least 34 points.
