Joe Mazzulla, Celtics stars pick up technicals late in contentious loss to Bulls: 6 takeaways

The Celtics fell apart late and dropped a rare loss of composure to the Bulls in their return to the court on Thursday, falling 117-108.

Here are the takeaways.

1. Joe Mazzulla, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum picked up technicals in rapid succession

With 5:12 remaining and the Celtics trailing by three, Payton Pritchard and Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu got tangled up going for a jump ball, and Jaylen Brown tried to get his hand into the play as well.

The jump appeared as though it should have been between Dosunmu and Pritchard, and official Justin Van Duyne whistled it as such.
