Sixers starters’ balanced attack erases horrid bench play to hold off Bulls | Best/worst

CHICAGO — The 76ers’ starting lineup saved the team from a total collapse against the Chicago Bulls.

The Sixers second unit was on the floor at the start of the fourth quarter with a commanding 20-point lead. That cushion quickly shrunk, forcing the Sixers to reinsert their starters. The group of Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Tobias Harris, Danny Green and Joel Embiid closed out the game with an 18-7 run.

Here are the best and worst performances from Monday’s 106-94 victory at the United Center.

Tobias Harris gets this. The Sixers forward finished with 21 points on 10-for-13 shooting to go with nine rebounds, three assists and two steals. Six of his points came in the fourth quarter on 3-for-3 shooting.

Mike Scott gets this. The Sixers reserve power forward failed to score and missed his lone shot. He was also a minus-13 in 5 minutes, 29 seconds.

Green wins this. The Sixers small forward had a game-high four steals.

This goes to the Sixers’ shooting 53.3%.

This goes to the Bulls’ Garrett Temple’s being a minus-30 in 27:30.

This goes to Sixers reserves’ being a combined minus-68.

This goes to all five Sixers starters’ scoring in double figures.
