The 45 points offered by DeMar DeRozan were not enough for the Chicago Bulls who lost 119-108 to the Philadelphia 76ers.
If DeRozan’s efforts did not lead to victory, it was largely due to the amazing 40-point performance of Joel Ebid for the Sixers.
Embiid have averaged at least 25 points in each of their last 20 games. He becomes only the second player in the history of the 76ers, after Allen Iverson, who achieved the feat. Embiid added 10 rebounds to the win.
It is already the 7th time this season that Embiid reaches 40 points in one game.
Embiid got a little help from Tobias Harris who gave 23 points.
For the Bulls, Nikolas Vucevic scored 23 points and added seven rebounds and five assists.
The task was not easy for Philly, who saw the lead of 17 points in the 4th quarter melt to four points. Philadelphia, however, held on to win.
This victory for the 76ers further tightens the standings in the East, where five teams have had 32 to 34 wins this season.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
