Sixers brauchen mehr als nur Embiids Geist, um Bulls zu schlagen

Philly's Latest Faceplant Against Chicago

Another one bites the dust. The Philadelphia 76ers, sitting at a respectable 39-33, just dropped another game to the Chicago Bulls, who are struggling at 29-42. The final score on March 26, 2026, was 109-102. That's a seven-point loss, and it stings, especially when you consider where these two teams are in the standings.

This isn't new, either. The Bulls beat the Sixers by the same 109-102 margin back on December 26, 2025. Two straight L's to a sub-.500 squad? That’s not a good look for a team with playoff aspirations.

Where's the Highlight Reel for Philly?

Real talk: Where are the plays? Where's the explosion? When I'm curating highlights, I'm looking for that jaw-dropping athleticism, that pure skill that changes the game. And against the Bulls, the Sixers just didn't have enough of it. Paul George was back for their stretch run, which is something, but it clearly wasn't enough on March 26th.

The Sixers have won three of their last five, which is a 60% win probability, but those two losses to Chicago are sticking out like a sore thumb. They're not just losing; they're losing to a team they should be handling. You expect to see Embiid dominating, but when he’s not there, who steps up for the highlight reel?

My Hot Take on the Sixers

Here's the thing: For all their talent on paper, the Sixers often play like they're waiting for someone else to make the big play. You can't just rely on individual brilliance when you're facing a hungry Bulls team that’s got nothing to lose. Chicago might be below .500, but they play with a fire that Philly sometimes lacks.

My prediction? Unless someone else on the Sixers starts consistently delivering those clutch, highlight-worthy performances, they're going to keep getting upset by teams like the Bulls when it matters most.
