LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers improved to 7-1 to start the 2026-27 season with a 126-107 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. The game featured a lighthearted moment when James chased an outlet pass into the stands during the third quarter, colliding with a fan holding a cup of wine. James, known for his wine enthusiasm, took a quick sip before returning to the court.
After the game, James explained the incident: "I spilled some of his wine, so I wanted to see if it was worth it on my arm, how good it was. It was aight. It was aight."
James finished with 15 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in 31 minutes. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 26 points and 11 assists, Jaylen Brown added 25 points and 11 rebounds, and VJ Edgecombe contributed 21 points. Philadelphia has yet to hit its full stride but continues to overwhelm opponents with depth and late-game execution.
