Tyrese Maxey Leads 76ers Past Bulls as Philadelphia Improve to 9-2 With Best Start Since 2000-01

The Philadelphia 76ers continued their impressive start to the NBA season with a 127-121 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, moving to 9-2 and recording their best opening 11-game run since the 2000-01 campaign.

Tyrese Maxey once again played a key role in Philadelphia’s success, delivering an all-round performance with 27 points, four rebounds and seven assists. He also knocked down three three-pointers as the 76ers secured another important win.

Philadelphia had to work for the victory, with Chicago staying competitive throughout the contest. However, the 76ers did enough offensively to maintain their advantage and close out the game with a six-point win.

Maxey received valuable support from Joel Embiid, who finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, while also recording two steals. His contribution on both ends of the floor helped Philadelphia maintain control during important moments.

The night also saw strong individual performances elsewhere in the NBA. Jaylen Brown scored 29 points, grabbed seven rebounds and recorded four assists, while LeBron James finished with 22 points, five rebounds and five assists.

For Philadelphia, however, the biggest takeaway remains their outstanding start to the season. At 9-2, the 76ers are showing encouraging consistency, with Maxey continuing to lead the way as they look to establish themselves among the NBA’s strongest teams.
