The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls 119-108 on Sunday night. The battle of two of the Eastern Conference's best featured monster games by the Sixers' Joel Embiid and the Bulls' DeMar DeRozan, though there was also a moment from the contest that went viral. Sixers big man Andre Drummond was the victim of a poster dunk, which was authored by Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu. NBC Sports Chicago trolled Drummond over the Dosunmu poster live as it happened. The Sixers big man fired back on Monday.
Score board of this game? What’s the season series right now between us? It’s called a hustle play doesn’t always go as planned but I’ll do it again if it to help my team win. 🤷🏽♂️ #76sers

The play in question occurred during the second quarter of the Sixers-Bulls game. Ayo Dosunmu took off on a fast break with Andre Drummond in hot pursuit. Both players rose above the rim, but it was Dosunmu who emerged with the poster dunk, and Drummond, who emerged put on said poster.
NBC Sports Chicago's Twitter account tweeted out that Drummond had announced an early retirement following the Dosunmu poster, a solid piece of trolling by the Bulls' broadcast network. The Sixers big man saw the tweet the next day and fired back, noting the scoreboard of the game, which was a win for Philadelphia.
Drummond then took it a step further, making it known that the Sixers lead the season series against the Bulls three games to zero. He called his block attempt on the Dosunmu poster a “hustle play”, noting that sometimes they don't go as planned.
The Bulls got off a nice joke at Andre Drummond's expense, though the Sixers big man clearly didn't find anything funny about it.
