What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Ky Carlin @Ky_CarlinBig buckets by Georges Niang and Tyrese Maxey and Philly extends the lead to 89-81 after 3 quarters in Chicago. DeMar DeRozan has 39 and 7 for the Bulls and Joel Embiid has 32 and 8. #Sixers – 5:23 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Bulls’ initial push to get the Sixers’ lead down to 61-56 was immediately squashed by back-to-back 3s from Curry and Maxey. – 4:53 PM Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Let’s try this again.
Last year, 3s off the dribble accounted for just 22% of Tyrese Maxey’s total attempts off the dribble, and he made them at a 23% clip.
This year, 3s account for 39% of his off the dribble attempts, and he’s making 40.9% of them. – 4:40 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers lead Chicago, 61-52, at halftime.
Embiid: 22 PTS / 5 REB / 2 AST
Maxey: 11 PTS / 3 REB / 5 AST
Team: 53.5% fg / 53.8% 3fg 👀 – 4:36 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Fun half of basketball in Chicago: Sixers lead 61-52 at the break, though the game feels a bit closer than that.
26 efficient points for DeMar DeRozan. 22 efficient points for Joel Embiid. And a nice little 11 and 5 half for Tyrese Maxey. – 4:36 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
A step back triple for Joel Embiid gives him 22 points at halftime and Philly leads it 61-50 over the Bulls in Chicago. Big fella is shooting 8/11 from the floor while Tyrese Maxey has 11. Philly is 7/13 from deep. #Sixers – 4:35 PM KC Johnson @KCJHoop
76ers 61, Bulls 52 at half
DeRozan 26 points
Embiid 22 points
Maxey 11 pts, 6 assists – 4:34 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Two pull-up 3s out of pick-and-roll for Tyrese Maxey in the first quarter, a shot that he looks more and more comfortable taking.
Sixers gave up 14 on 6-7 shooting to DeRozan that quarter, though. Put Charlie Brown on him defensively for the last possession and he fouled him. – 4:07 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 34, Bulls 26 at the end of the first. Both teams are shooting above 50%, but the Sixers are 5-of-10 from 3 while Chicago is 2-of-7. Embiid with 12 pints on 5-of-6 shooting. Maxey with 8 on 3-of-3 from the floor and 4 assists. – 4:06 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Tyrese Maxey’s first 10 minutes today:
8 PTS / 3-3 FG / 2-2 3fg / 3 AST – 4:01 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
That’s the shot you want Tyrese Maxey taking. Coming off the screen and just pulling up for a triple. He drills it within confidence and Philly leads it 23-17 in the 1st quarter. #Sixers – 3:58 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers up 23-17 late in the third after Maxey hits another pull-up 3. He’s also already got four assists. Sixers are shooting 10-of-17 from the floor. – 3:57 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers

Curry
Maxey – 3:01 PM Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Last time #Bulls played Sixers, Embiid scored 30, but what really hurt Bulls, I thought, was not being able to contain guards. Maxey/Milton combined for 14 assists, drove and dished to Embiid/Korkmaz who went 11-14 from 3. Milton is out today, Korkmaz & Thybulle questionable – 2:28 PM
