On Thursday night, the Chicago Bulls came in to TD Garden and stunned the Celtics, leaving with a 117-108 victory. Boston had their second worst three-point shooting performance of the season, just 25% as a team, and that, too, on 56 attempts. The game was well within reach throughout, and the Celtics were even leading to start the 4th quarter, but Chicago brought a late burst of energy to push themselves over the top, coupled with a mental collapse by the Celtics.
Whether warranted or not, Joe Mazzulla and Jaylen Brown received technical fouls in a 3-point game with just over 5 minutes to play, and Jayson Tatum received one of his own just 2 minutes later.
