Zach LaVine knew the Bulls wouldn’t get the same Celtics team they saw in Boston on Thursday.
And he was right.
The Celtics showed up in Chicago “on their game,” just as LaVine had predicted, which meant he wasn’t recreating his 36-point performance from Thursday night, and there was no need for Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla to make a spirited charge at any officials as time expired.
After a respectable first half that concluded with the Bulls trailing by seven, the Celtics went to work, proving lighting would not strike twice for the Bulls, handing them a 123-98 loss.
