LeBron and Brown Lead 76ers Past Bulls, Box Score Stats, Highlights for Caleb Wilson, Top Players

The new-look Philadelphia 76ers don't always make it easy. But more often than not, they find a way to win.

Philly moved to 9-2 on Sunday with a 127-121 victory over the Chicago Bulls, fueled primarily by the team's excellent starting lineup.

Here's a look at the game's key performers:

The Sixers are still figuring out the half-court offense, but they can throw a lot of very good options at a defense.

There's Jaylen Brown attacking isos:

Tyrese Maxey's speed and shooting make him such a difficult assignment:

Joel Embiid is still a fantastic offensive threat on the block:

And of course there's LeBron James, tying it all together:

For all of Philly's individual talent, however, they haven't played selfishly. On Sunday the Sixers had 30 assists and just nine turnovers, crashed the boards hard (54-42 advantage) and continue to turn defense into easy buckets in transition.

The half-court offense is a work in progress, as expected. But the Sixers are doing the little things needed to win, and it's not as though they've had a cakewalk of a schedule thus far (4-2 record against the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons).

They'll be tested again on Tuesday in a matchup against Brown's former team, the Boston Celtics. There should be a bit of spice to that one.

Chicago (1-8) will face the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, hoping to end a seven-game losing streak.
