"76ers Overpower Bulls Despite Embiid's Absence, Focus on Playoff Health"
The Philadelphia 76ers, led by Joel Embiid, experienced a dramatic scoring drought in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bulls, resulting in a bad beat for bettors. After a strong start, the Sixers were on track to surpass their team total of 116.5 points but ended up scoring only 12 points in the fourth quarter, finishing the game with 110 points. This marked one of the few times this season they failed to score at least 117 points. Despite the scoring collapse, the 76ers still covered the spread as 9.5-point favorites and won the game 110-97, but the game's total points fell well under the 223.5-point over/under betting line.
