Philadelphia played a solid game today, beating Chicago 94-80. Chicago players and fans were expecting the game to be a bit closer, but everything went well for Philadelphia today. "It was really frustrating," said Chicago star Mayes. "I thought we were going to be ready for this game, but we just couldn't do anything against them." Coach Bob seemed perplexed early on, but made a few adjustments late in the game that were too little, too late in this game but may help his side out next time these two teams meet.

Philadelphia was led by Rogers (5 points, 15 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Hargrove (24 points, a block), Palacio (17 points, a steal). Chicago was led by Mayes (22 points, 2 steals), Glover (16 points, 2 assists, a steal), Darden (6 points, 10 boards, 1 assists, 2 steals, a block).

After this win, Philadelphia improve to 26-16. They remain at #2 in the Atlantic and remain at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Chicago are now 20-22 and 13-9 at home with the loss. They hold at #3 in the Central and drop to #10 overall in the Eastern Conference.
