By Can Erozden

ANKARA (AA) – A DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine scoring spree was not enough to save the Chicago Bulls from a close 103-98 defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

DeRozan, 32, finished with a double-double of 37 points and 10 rebounds and LaVine racked up 27 points and nine rebounds at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

However, Seth Curry, Joel Embiid and Georges Niang made sure their efforts were in vain as the trio lifted the 76ers to their fourth consecutive win.

Curry ended the night with 22 points and Niang had 18, while Embiid’s 18 points came with nine rebounds and seven assists.

Tyrese Maxey pitched in with 14 points and Turkish shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz added another 11 for Philadelphia, who are now second in the Eastern Conference standings with six wins and two losses.

The Bulls have also won six and lost two this season and are now in third place.
