The Philadelphia 76ers extended their winning streak to four games with a dominant 126-107 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, improving their league-leading record to an impressive 7-1. Tyrese Maxey exploded for 15 of his game-high 26 points in the fourth quarter, while LeBron James orchestrated the offense with 15 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds.
This latest result, a 126-107 win on November 2, 2026, continues a hot start for the Sixers. Their recent form over the last five games reads 4W-1L, with the current four-game run featuring wins over the Knicks, Hornets, and Pacers after a lone loss to Detroit.
The Sixers took control in the third quarter. They turned a five-point halftime lead into a commanding 17-point advantage, going up 85-68 on a LeBron James layup. James was electric all night, wowing the Wells Fargo Center crowd with a three-point play late to seal it. He set the tone early with seven first-half assists, including a pair of dazzling full-court bounce passes to VJ Edgecombe for easy buckets.
While James managed the game, Tyrese Maxey closed it. After a quiet opening three quarters, he caught fire in the final period. Maxey attacked the rim relentlessly and his three-pointer with six and a half minutes left pushed the lead to 107-96, effectively ending Chicago's hopes. He finished with a double-double, adding 11 assists to his 26 points.
Philadelphia's star-studded starting lineup was back together after resting during back-to-back weekend wins. Jaylen Brown was a force, putting up 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Rookie VJ Edgecombe looked comfortable alongside the veterans, netting 21 efficient points. Joel Embiid, who was questionable with a foot injury, contributed 15 points and eight boards in limited minutes and wasn't needed in the fourth quarter with the game in hand.
The Bulls were led by rookie Caleb Wilson, the No. 4 overall pick, who scored 24 points. Norman Powell added 18, but it wasn't enough to stop their skid. Chicago has now lost five consecutive games.
The schedule doesn't let up. The Sixers immediately turn around to face the Detroit Pistons on the road this Wednesday, November 4. It's a quick rematch with the only team to beat them so far this season, a 106-93 loss back on October 25. Maintaining this momentum will be vital as they look to solidify their top spot in the Eastern Conference.
With health and their core lineup performing, the Sixers have built a formidable early-season identity centered on unselfish play and multiple scoring threats.
