Two days after the Boston Celtics suffered their sixth loss of the NBA season at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, they took the court in Chicago with a chance for revenge. This time, they left nothing on the table. The Celtics dominated Chicago in the paint and rode a strong third quarter to a comfortable win over their Eastern Conference foes, 123-98.
Jayson Tatum was the story tonight, absolutely dominating the Bulls on every level. He led all scorers with 43 points on the night, shooting 16-of-24 from the field (9-of-15 from three), and he recorded a recorded a ridiculous triple-double in the process, finishing with 16 rebounds and 10 assists.
