The Bulls are just 6-6 playing on their home court. They bounced back from a home loss to the Clippers on Tuesday night by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 96-89 as a +2 point road underdog on a back to back. Because of the weak offenses in the Eastern conference the Bulls have been able to find wins and survive until Derrick Rose can get back into the lineup. Survival has been due to defense as the club ranks 3rd in the NBA by allowing just 91 points a game. Without Rose the Bulls struggle for offense as they put up just 94 points a game.
