The Philadelphia 76ers played without James Harden, and then Joel Embiid departed with mild right calf tightness. It didn't matter. Tyrese Maxey scored 16 of his 21 points during Philadelphia's dominant first half, and the 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 116-91 on Wednesday night. De'Anthony Melton had 25 points and Tobias Harris finished with 20 as Philadelphia earned a split of its four-game season series against Chicago. Embiid had 12 points, seven rebounds and seven assists before sitting out for the second half. Bulls star DeMar DeRozan departed in the third quarter with a right quad strain. DeRozan, who scored 25 points in the prior game, had a season-low four points on 0-for-7 shooting. Coby White scored 19 points for Chicago, and Zach LaVine had 16. Click below to read more:
