This game was not pretty. After playing two games in the last two weeks, Boston had an uncharacteristically poor shooting performance. They left the door open for the Bulls to stick around, and they did just that.
They lost the 3PT battle, and shot just 25% from deep while attempting 56 3’s. That’s an easy way to not only lose, but to get blown out. That wasn’t really the case with this one though, they led for the majority of the game and seemed like they would be able to finish it out.
