Bulls-76ers Halftime Score: Philadelphia Leading, 48-40

Carlos Boozer is playing abysmally - he has ten first half rebounds, but he's killing the Bulls' offense - and jumpers are falling for Philly, who hit four of six threes to take an eight point lead at the half. The Sixers' young backcourt featuring Lou Williams and Jrue Holiday is playing well - the pair combined for 23 points on only 11 shots due to some nice aggressive play that got them to the line and some perimeter shooting.

The Bulls jumped out to an early lead. It was down to two points when Luol Deng took an elbow to the face, and he seemed off his game after returning, only tallying two points after the injury, robbing the Bulls of some offensive potency as the Sixers took the lead. That said, it's not over for the Bulls if Boozer and Deng get their games together.
