Thaddeus Young scored 21 points and the 76ers built a 23-point lead and held on Monday night, beating the Chicago Bulls 97-85 and ending their 14-game home winning streak.
Young dazzled before leaving the game with a leg injury that coach Doug Collins says is a groin injury. Young would return before the end of the game.
Andre Iguodala added 19 points and seven assists for the 76ers, who lost at the United Center by 45 points in December. Philly had six players in double figures including Spencer Hawes (14), Elton Brand (13), Jrue Holiday (12) and Lou Williams (10).
Chicago, losing for only the second time in its last 14 games overall, got 31 points from Derrick Rose, who also had 10 turnovers. The Bulls still own the best record in the East, leading by two games over the Celtics and Heat. Boston lost to Indiana on Monday night and Miami was idle.
Carlos Boozer scored 15 points for the Bulls, and Joakim Noah had 10 points and 13 rebounds.
