About this Article

Though it hardly matters in the long run, the Bulls did achieve some pay back on Saturday night. They knocked off Philadelphia 93-88 in the type of defensive slugfest coach Tom Thibodeau enjoys. This was the first time the Bulls have seen the 76ers since they were dancing on the scorer's table after knocking off the Derrick Rose-less Bulls in the first round of last year's playoffs.
