There are lot of adjectives that could describe the Chicago Bull's in their 97-85 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, and none of them are close to the "Best in the East" label that still stands true for them in the standings.
However, the loss could have been much worse for the Bulls, as the Sixers held a commanding 23-point lead over Chicago before the Bulls began chipping away at the lead.
Leading-MVP candidate Derrick Rose put up decent numbers in the loss, finishing with 31 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
Luckily for the Bulls, the Celtics didn't fare much better on the evening, as they fell to the Indiana Pacers 107-100.
