CHICAGO — A sarcastic cheer ripped through the United Center crowd when Nikola Vucevic sank a free throw nearly four minutes into Wednesday’s first quarter.
The Bulls had finally scored. But the 76ers had already created an insurmountable advantage.
After losing in double overtime to this opponent two nights prior, the Sixers put Chicago away early in a 116-91 blowout in Wednesday’s rematch — but now have health questions about stars Joel Embiid and James Harden.
