The Sixers returned to the Spectrum for the last time tonight for a matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Once again the Sixers were able to score easily, but their defense just wasn't that good. Thankfully, 25 points from Andre Iguodala, a career high 31 points from Thaddues Young, and 19 rebounds and 4 blocks from Sammy Dalembert was enough to hold off the Bulls, and send the Spectrum out on a high note. It was a pretty tight game throughout with the Sixes clinging to a 3 point lead at the half with the score 50-47. In the 3rd quarter the Sixers seemed to take control of the game pushing out to an 11 point lead with the score with 80-69. In the 4th quarter however, the Bulls rallied back and were within 1, with 22 seconds to play, but Sammy D blocked a Derrick Rose layup attempt springing Young for easy break away basket a 104-101 Sixers' lead. Ben Gordon then had one last chance to tie it with a three pointer, bus his desperate shot at the buzzer harmlessly rattled out. So the Sixers move back over .500 at 32-31 overall but remain 7th in the Eastern conference.
