Celtics took on the Chicago Bulls in a highly anticipated matchup. The atmosphere in TD Garden was electric as fans eagerly awaited to see their beloved team take on one of their biggest rivals.
From the opening tip-off, it was clear that the Celtics were determined to come out on top. Led by star players Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Boston dominated both offensively and defensively throughout the game. Their precision passing and sharp shooting left the Bulls struggling to keep up.
The NBA leaders got the job done in another convincing win.
Jayson Tatum added 25 and the Celtics won their season-high seventh straight game, beating the Chicago Bulls 129-112 on Thursday night.
White and Tatum each made five of Boston's 23 3-pointers. Jaylen Brown scored 21 points, and the Celtics came away with another convincing victory after pounding Brooklyn by 50 prior to the All-Star break.
DeMar DeRozan was raging himself into a technical foul and even Boston’s mad stork, Luke Kornet, taught me something with his “dabbing” celebration after his fifth dunk.
It seemed to me he was calling timeout multiple times, but I learned it was a hip hop thing. We all also learned Boston is pretty hip with this basketball stuff this season.
The Celtics have defeated the Knicks all three times the teams have faced each other thus far this season. In a rare twist, they’ll actually face five times during the regular season instead of the normal four. Part of that is because of the NBA’s in-season tourney where the C’s and Knicks both lost in the quarterfinals of the knockout stages, so they were paired up against each other.
Vucevic led the Bulls with 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Coby White and DeMar DeRozan had 20 and 19 points, respectively. However, White and Deebo combined to make only 13 of their 34 attempts from the field.
