The Chicago Bulls won a big game towards making the playoffs on Saturday night, beating the Sixers by a final score of 94-88.

Othella Harrington scored a season-high 24 points and Ben Gordon had eight of his 22 in the fourth quarter as the Bulls snapped a four-game losing streak.

Chris Duhon had the job of guarding Allen Iverson and even though he finished with 31 points, A.I. committed 11 turnovers.

``Tonight was just a bad game, that's all,'' Iverson said. ``That's it. The calls weren't going our way and I missed a lot of shots I normally make.''

Chris Webber was a late scratch for the 76ers with a compressed nerve in his left leg. Philadelphia is 6-6 since acquiring Webber in a trade with the Sacramento Kings.

The team did not announce how long it expected Webber to be sidelined.

``I knew that he had discomfort in his Achilles when he woke up today,'' Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said. ``The staff called me and said they would check him out. When he came in, there was some swelling. They got it down but it was too tender for him to play.''
