By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 22, 2010 3:42PM

Bulls 121, 76ers 76: No Joakim Noah, no Taj Gibson? No problem.

Derrick Rose and Luol Deng each scored 22 to pace the Bulls in a thorough defeat of Philadelphia at the United Center. This was a complete team effort. The Bulls shot 64.5 percent from the field for the game, while throttling Philadelphia on defense. The Sixers and coach Doug Collins looked shellshocked as the Bulls opened a 40-point lead, courtesy of a 31-11 third period.

Carlos Boozer added 16 points and 11 rebounds, while C.J. Watson added 14 points and Kyle Korver 10 to lead the bench attack.
