When guard Coby White made a three-pointer at the 7:36 mark before the half, the game was tied, and the momentum had shifted. And the Bulls finally put the “Curse of Joel Embiid’’ to rest. But trailing 22-17 after the first quarter didn’t seem to faze the Bulls one bit. We’ve got a bigger goal at hand than just trying to beat him, but I’m glad we got the win.’’ “[Embiid is] definitely a freak of nature,’’ Bulls forward Patrick Williams said. Tyrese Maxey had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation with a three-pointer, and DeRozan had a chance at the end of the first overtime, but he missed his three-pointer.

What. A. Win. The Bulls snap the 76ers 8-game win streak with a 109-105 win on the road.

The Bulls adjusted to not having him in the lineup, but they clearly missed him early. It was a really solid team effort for the Bulls tonight, and now a 3-1 week looks so much more doable than it did just a few hours ago. And shout out to Derrick Jones Jr for coming up with the HUGE block on James Harden with just seconds left to maintain the lead. They held the Sixers to just 105 points (again, in two overtimes), when Philly hadn’t scored less than 112 on their win streak. But defensively, they were all over the 76ers tonight. The Bulls were far from perfect tonight.

The Chicago Bulls snapped the 76ers' eight-game win streak on Monday.

Monday's matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers wasn't the prettiest display of offense, especially in today's NBA.
