One of the worst games of the season ended up being a lot more exciting than expected. But also it was a terrible night for James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers as they did lose their 8-win streak. The Chicago Bulls visited the Sixers and, after two overtimes, won the game by 109-105.

Yes, that’s right. After 48 minutes in regulation and 10 minutes in overtime, both teams combined for 214 points. This was one of the worst games in the season before the overtime. No one deserved the victory and the regulation ended tied with 91 points.

Another thing that helped with this terrible amount of points was James Harden’s individual performance. He basically missed everything he tried in the game and had only five points. Yes, five points in 47 minutes. At least he got 12 assists. Joel Embiid kept his average scoring a double-double with 37 points and 16 rebounds.

For the Chicago Bulls, three players scored 20+ points, contributing to the win. Zach LaVine had 26 points, DeMar DeRozan had 25 and Nikola Vučević scored a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds.
