"Thad did a great job finding mismatches and in the third quarter we came out the right way. Just too little too late." - Zach LaVine
The Bulls could not overcome an 18-point halftime deficit in Boston, losing 113-101.
Perhaps Monday's 113-101 loss to the Boston Celtics was merely a thoughtful gesture to sports fans. Because by falling behind by 16 points in the first quarter, scoring a season-low 14 points in that frame and giving up a dozen dunks or layups in the first half, the Bulls made it easy to turn to the CFP National Championship game.
