Score: 44-25 Celtics<\/p>\n
So far, so good for the Celtics.<\/p>\n
The Bulls jumped out to a 9-6 lead, and then the Celtics went on a 29-9 run to open up a double-digit advantage. <\/p>\n
The Celtics offense is firing on all cylinders. They’re shooting 16-for-24 from the field with 11 assists. Boston’s defense has been stellar, too. The C’s have six steals on seven Bulls turnovers.<\/p>\n
Payton Pritchard leads the Celtics with 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting off the bench. Neemias Queta has nine points off the bench. Jayson Tatum (nine points) and Paul George (eight points) have played well, too.<\/p>\n
It all added up to a season-high 44-point quarter for Boston.<\/p>\n
The Bulls lead the league in free throws attempted per game, and they’ve already made seven of eight attempts in this matchup. Chicago is shooting 2-for-12 from 3-point range. If that doesn’t improve, it’s going to be a long night for the Bulls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Score: 44-25 Celtics So far, so good for the Celtics.
