In a bitter defensive battle in Milwaukee, the Boston Celtics came one Kyrie Irving shot short of beating the East’s No. 1 seed. Nevertheless, they’re now still in search of their first victory in the symbolic second half of the season, and have a fair opportunity in Chicago against the Bulls, who currently sport a 14-44 record.
Boston has had tremendous success in the Windy City so far this year, with their previous contest in Chicago ending in a 133-77 victory in December. Their first matchup of the season, in Boston, ended fairly for the Celtics as well, with a 111-82 win.
