Markelle Fultz gave the fans in Philadelphia three reasons to jump out of their seats on Thursday night.
Fultz drained a 3-pointer during the fourth quarter of the 76ers’ win over the Chicago Bulls, marking the first triple of his NBA career. The fans were thrilled to celebrate the big shot:

As if that wasn’t enough, Fultz had a nice drive to the basket and finish with his left hand later in the quarter:

Fultz was just 5-for-15 in the game for 12 points, but at least he wasn’t scared to take an outside shot unlike earlier in the contest.
The Sixers gave their fans plenty of reasons to cheer. Joel Embiid had 30 points and 12 rebounds, while Ben Simmons recorded a triple-double.
