In their second game since losing Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls look to reclaim home court advantage in Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
C.J. Watson and John Lucas III combined for 27 points in Rose's absence, but the Sixers backcourt had their way with the Bulls defense on the other end. Jrue Holiday led all scorers with 26 points while Lou Williams added 20 off the bench, as Doug Collins mixed up his rotation in an effort to even up the series. Chicago, which has consistently rated as one of the best defenses in the league under Tom Thibodeau, will look to shore up the defense without Rose and to get back on top of the series with a Game 3 win.
