Bulls' Efforts Not Enough


Despite falling short in this matchup, The Bulls had moments of brilliance that kept them competitive early on. They managed to lead briefly by one point but struggled to maintain momentum against The Celtics' relentless attack. Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic fought valiantly for Chicago; however, their efforts were overshadowed by Boston's balanced team performance.


The Bulls did showcase their depth with bench players contributing a total of 47 points. Their ability to draw fouls was evident as they shot an impressive 92 percent from the free-throw line but ultimately couldn't overcome The Celtics' scoring barrage or match their defensive intensity.
