Kevin Huerter drained five three-pointers and finished with 18 points as the Chicago Bulls wrapped up their regular season with a commanding 122-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The victory serves as a tune-up for the Bulls, who are locked in as the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference for the second straight year and are heading to the play-in tournament for a third consecutive season. They’ll face the 10th-seeded Miami Heat on Wednesday in a win-or-go-home matchup.
Talen Horton-Tucker added 17 points for Chicago in a game that held little significance for either side. The Bulls had already secured their play-in position, while the 76ers capped a disappointing campaign with just 24 wins, going 5-31 to close the season.
Despite the loss, Lonnie Walker IV stood out for Philadelphia with eight three-pointers and 31 points. Jared Butler chipped in 19 points.
