PHILADELPHIA -- Let's take a quick look at how the Philadelphia 76ers cruised past the Chicago Bulls 98-82 on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Arena.

How it happened: The Sixers outworked the Bulls most of the night. Andre Iguodala had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead Philadelphia to a convincing win. Lavoy Allen came off the Sixers' bench to add 15 points. Playing without Luol Deng (wrist) and Rip Hamilton (thigh/groin) did the Bulls in offensively. Derrick Rose had 18 points. C.J. Watson added 20. But Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer combined for just 11 points going just 4-for-14 from the field.

What it means: Against solid teams, the Bulls' offensive woes become more pronounced without Hamilton and Deng. Boozer and Noah simply can't have the type of game they had on Wednesday night and expect to win. Thibodeau sent a message to Boozer and Noah once again by benching both for the entire fourth quarter. Rose didn't play the final 12 minutes as well, but that wasn't because he didn't play well. Thibodeau seemed to throw in the towel early in this one, opting to give Rose a rest in advance of Thursday night's game.

Stat of the night: The Sixers outscored the Bulls 26-11 in the third quarter.

What's next: The Bulls are right back at it Thursday night when they take on the New York Knicks. It will mark the team's fourth game in five days.
