United Center attendees went home happy with Big Macs in their futures last night. That’s because the Chicago Bulls walloped the Boston Celtics in a surprise 108-85 blowout. The Celtics, weathering injuries, put up a valiant effort, but the Bulls proved to be too much for the depleted C’s.
Kyrie Irving (out with a left quad contusion) and Marcus Morris were sorely missed on the court. Boston fell to a 23-6 record with the loss and Chicago improved to a polar opposite 6-20 record with the win. Following the return of Nikola Mirotic and David Nwaba to their lineup last week, Chicago has suddenly pivoted from a 10-game losing streak into a three-game winning streak.
