(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia 76ers will try to snap a three-game losing streak Sunday when they welcome the Chicago Bulls to the Wachovia Center for the opener of a home-and-home series.
Philadelphia dropped its third consecutive game on Friday in Boston, suffering a 102-78 defeat to the defending champion Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden. Elton Brand had 18 points and eight boards to lead the Sixers, who got 15 points off the bench from Lou Williams.
Andre Miller contributed 12 points in the loss.
The Sixers will try to build on their 5-3 home record this evening.
Chicago, which will host Philly on December 2 at the United Center, will wrap up a seven-game road trip in the City of Brotherly Love. It is 2-4 so far on the trek and dropped a 98-88 decision at San Antonio on Wednesday.
Ben Gordon had 23 points and Drew Gooden added 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls, who are 2-7 as the visitor this season. Rookie Derrick Rose and Luol Deng each scored 10 points, while Rose also had six rebounds and six assists in defeat.
Philadelphia went 3-1 against Chicago a year ago and has won five of the previous eight matchups in the series.
The Bulls have lost seven of their last 11 games at the Wachovia Center.
