(Sports Network) - The Windy City will be the scene Saturday as the Philadelphia 76ers invade the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls dropped their second straight game on Wednesday in Toronto when Chris Bosh scored a game-best 28 points to go along with 11 rebounds, as the Raptors beat Chicago, 99-89, in a tale of two halves at Air Canada Centre.

The Bulls shot 52 percent from the floor in the opening half and held a 12-0 edge in second-chance points, scoring 60 in the first 24 minutes. The second 24 were far different, as they totaled just 29 points with 11 in the fourth quarter on just 3-of-21 shooting.

Chicago missed its last 15 shots with Luol Deng's jumper its last field goal with 9:21 to play. That jumper gave the Bulls an 84-81 edge, but Toronto used an 18-5 stretch, which included 14 straight points at one point, to push in front to stay.

"We just didn't make shots, especially in the fourth quarter. We had good looks and we didn't knock them down," said Deng.

The Bulls were led by Deng and rookie Taj Gibson, who both scored 18 points. Gibson added five boards to his career-best point total, while Joakim Noah registered his fifth double-double of the season with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Derrick Rose chipped in 14 points and six assists in defeat.

Philadelphia has lost three of four games and suffered a 112-90 setback versus the Utah Jazz last night from the Wachovia Center.

Thaddeus Young finished with 17 points and Jason Kapono added 12 points off the bench for the 76ers, who got 11 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds from Andre Iguodala. Elton Brand, who has been irritated with his lack of minutes, tallied 11 points for Philadelphia, which committed 17 turnovers that led to 19 Jazz points.

"I thought with the young guards, we would be able to disrupt some things but he (Eric Maynor) played with confidence and handled things well. (Wesley) Matthews is also young but they have had the same system for so many years. The veterans help the young guys. That's what continuity does for you," said Philadelphia head coach Eddie Jordan.

These two teams split a four-game season series last season with each club winning once on the other's home floor. These two teams have split the past eight encounters at the United Center.
