Once up by 24 points, the Sixers fell to a 113-111 loss to the Bulls at United Center. Chicago moved to 6-1 and the Sixers dropped to 5-2. Nikola Vucevic drilled a go-ahead corner three-pointer with 3.2 seconds left. Quentin Grimes then had a good look at a game-winner, but he missed a top-of-the-key three-point attempt.

The Sixers scored 45 points in the first to take an 18-point lead and stayed in front for the majority of the game. The Bulls held the Sixers to just 16 points in the fourth quarter.

The Sixers lead that was once at 24 in this game evaporated in the fourth. The Sixers did not score a basket for the final 6:26 of the game, a complete and utter meltdown. The Sixers fell to the Bulls 113-111. The Sixers will travel to Cleveland tomorrow for the second game of a back-to-back.

Everything looked like it was going according to plan for the Sixers. Then, six minutes and 26 seconds passed without them making a shot to close Tuesday's game in Chicago.

Grimes is playing some of the most inspired basketball of his career after failing to net a lucrative offseason deal. The guard entered the season on a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer.

The Sixers ran the Bulls off the court in the first half, but their offense went ice cold as they blew a 24-point lead in Chicago.

Maxey just finished off a week in which he averaged 33.5 points, 9.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and shot 47.4% from the floor while leading the Sixers to a 3-1 week. Those numbers earned him the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award. His point guard counterpart, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, took home the award in the West.
