After wins over the Miami Heat and the Washington Wizards, the 76ers took the court against the Chicago Bulls. The 76ers came out as the vicors in this game, as they won 107-104.
The 76ers got an outstanding performance from Michael Carter-Williams tonight. He had 26 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. This was his third straight great performance, and I'm starting to really think he is legit.
Another player that impressed me today was Thaddeus Young. He shot four three pointers, and made three of them. Tonight was definietly a good night for him behind the arc, and I think that he could really improve his game with a nice three point shot.
The center for the 76ers, Spencer Hawes, also impressed me today. He had 11 rebounds and 18 points, which is very good. Over the course of his career he has had some great stretches, and he has started the season out well for the 76ers.
The Sixers shot 48.8% from the field today, and 50% from behind the three point line. That's very good, they shot the ball well today. The Bulls were not as good, as they shot 45.2% from the field and 21.4% from behind the arc. That definitely wasn't their best performance.
One reason that the 76ers won this game was that the defense held Derrick Rose to just 13 points and 6 assists. That isn't very good for a guy like Derrick Rose. Without and effective Derrick Rose, the Bulls aren't a great team, and that's why the 76ers won tonight.
The 76ers' next game is on Monday against the Warriors, in the Wells Fargo Center. This game will be broadcasted on Comcast Sportsnet at 7:00 PM EST.
