BOSTON — \u2014 Payton Pritchard<\/a> scored 26 points and the Boston Celtics<\/a> rolled past the Chicago Bulls<\/a> 124-105 on Wednesday night in the final game for both teams before the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

Jaylen Brown<\/a> added 24 points. Nikola Vucevic<\/a> finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who have won six of their last seven games.<\/p>\n

The Celtics carried a 28-point into halftime, taking advantage of a Chicagos team that was missing several top contributors. Boston\u2019s lead rose as high as 33 in the second half. <\/p>\n

Rob Dillingham<\/a> had 16 points and seven assists to pace Chicago, which has lost six straight. Matas Buzelis<\/a> added 15 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n

Vucevic and Chicago\u2019s Anfernee Simons<\/a> played against their former teams for the first time since being swapped in a trade deadline deal last week. <\/p>\n

It was Vucevic\u2019s second double-double in three games with the Celtics. Simons finished with seven points. It marked his first time being under 15 in his four consecutive starts for the Bulls.<\/p>\n

The Bulls played without Isaac Okoro<\/a> (knee), who joined what was already a lengthy Bulls injury list. Josh Giddey<\/a> has been out since Jan. 28 when he aggravated a hamstring injury in a Jan. 28 loss to Indiana. Tre Jones<\/a> also has been dealing with a hamstring issue that\u2019s kept him sidelined since Jan. 22.<\/p>\n
