Philadelphia – Kevin Huert connected five triples and scored 18 points and the Chicago Bulls warmed up for the game game with a 122-102 victory over the 76ers philadelphia on Sunday.
The Bulls are seed number 9 at the East Conference for the second consecutive season and will make its third consecutive appearance in the game tournament. The Bulls play the Heat on Wednesday night.
Talen Horton-Tucker scored 17 points in a large-spoiled game for both teams.
The Bulls had been locked in their playing place. The 76ers finished with only 24 victories and finished the season in a 5-31 section.
Lonnie Walker IV connected eight triples and scored 31 points for the Sixers. Jared Butler added 19 points.
Bulls: The Bulls coach, Billy Donovan, hoped that the injured guard Josh Giddey (right doll) returns for Wednesday’s game against Miami. Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists this season.
76ers: The 76ers ended up perhaps, given the weight of expectations with three All-stars and a mass payroll, their worst season in the history of the franchise. Paul George, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey played the 15 games together this season. The trio played 119 combined games. Embiid, a two -time score champion, played only 19.
The Bulls exceeded 76ers 37-19 in the third quarter to eliminate a part-time deficit.
The ninth sown of the Bulls receives No. 10 Miami on Wednesday in a elimination game.
The 76ers are guaranteed at least the fifth best probabilities in the NBA draft lottery. That place gives them a 10.5% probability of obtaining the best general selection. The postseason was lost for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
