The Chicago Bulls are riding high on a four-game winning streak after a tumultuous stretch of eight losses in nine games. As they kick off a six-game homestand against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, the Bulls aim to maintain their momentum. Their recent victories, including a thrilling 126-123 win over Atlanta on Tuesday, have been a testament to the team's resilience. Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu highlighted the importance of staying focused and not getting discouraged, even when playing subpar basketball. The Bulls can seal the season series against the 76ers with a win, having edged them 113-111 on November 4. Josh Giddey's impressive performance on that night, which included a triple-double, has been a consistent feature of the Bulls' success. Despite facing injuries and lineup changes, Giddey has remained a steady presence, notching his seventh triple-double of the season on Tuesday. Bulls coach Billy Donovan praised his team's ability to adapt and find playmakers in the absence of injured players. Philadelphia, however, is struggling to find consistency, with the team's top players, including Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, yet to find rhythm together. Embiid's recent injury, which saw him leave the court after hyperextending his right knee, has added to the team's woes. The 76ers will look to find their footing as they begin a five-game road trip, having won three of their last four away games. The Bulls, on the other hand, will be eager to extend their winning streak and capitalize on their home-court advantage.
