Philadelphia beats Chicago 79-78 to advance in the postseason for the first time in almost a decade.

The Philadelphia 76ers have beaten the Chicago Bulls 79-78 to earn a 4-2 series win and advance in the postseason for the first time since 2003 at the Wells Fargo Center tonight.

Sixers captain Andre Iguodala, who shot 45% from the foul line in the fourth during the regular reason, knocked down the game-winning free throws with 2.2 seconds remaining to take his total to 20 points on the night.

Philadelphia become the fifth eight-seed to beat a one-seed since the postseason was expanded in 1984, following the Memphis Grizzlies' upset of the San Antonio Spurs a season ago.

After taking a 3-1 series lead, Doug Collins's men were pegged back earlier this week at the United Center in a 77-69 defeat to the Bulls. However, after overcoming a five-point fourth-quarter deficit, the team will now go on to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
