Coming off of last week’s disappointing loss to the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics’ chances in the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament hinged on a substantial win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night — their final game of the group stage of the tournament. The goal? A win of at least 23 points, which would put them in position to win their group — provided the Brooklyn Nets come up with a win of their own against the Toronto Raptors. The Celtics did exactly that, winning a 27-point blowout over the Bulls and putting their tournament fate in the hands of the Nets.
