CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago Bulls look to continue their
surprising resurgence Wednesday when they host the Philadelphia
76ers.
The Bulls won their fourth straight game Monday with a 94-85
victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Othella Harrington, making his second consecutive start for the
injured Antonio Davis, had a season-high 20 points and a
career-best five assists, and Chicago held Golden State to 33
percent (25-of-76) shooting.
It was the 19th contest in a row in which the Bulls held their
opponent to under 100 points, the longest active streak in the
NBA.
Chicago has turned it up on the defensive end to bounce back
from an 0-9 start. Over their last 15 outings, the Bulls have
allowed 89 points or fewer 12 times and have posted an 11-4
record over that stretch.
The 76ers will be playing their ninth road game in 10 contests.
After a 5-3 road trip, Philadelphia dropped a 109-100 decision
at home to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Rookie Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 22 points, but the
Sixers could not overcome the outside shooting of the Trail
Blazers, who shot 54 percent (14-of-26) from 3-point range.
NBA leading scorer Allen Iverson contributed 21 points, nine
rebounds and nine assists but did not play most of the fourth
quarter after falling hard on his hip. He had missed
Philadelphia's previous game with a sprained right ankle.
