It’s a series again. The Celtics looked helpless in the first two games, but tied the series at two games apiece after a convincing 104-95 victory.
The Game Flow
The Celtics played with great energy to start the game. An Isaiah Thomas three made it 14-4 after five minutes, as Gerald Green led the charge with 8 points and 5 rebounds. The Bulls struggled to move the ball, making only 2 of their first 10 attempts. The Celtics defense forced contested isolation shots and made it apparent how badly Chicago missed Rondo’s playmaking.
Brad Stevens rode the starters for the first seven minutes and the Celtics led 30-18 after one quarter.
