In a disappointing game for the Chicago Bulls, Shooting Forward DeMar DeRozan put on a stellar performance but his efforts were not enough to secure a win against the Boston Celtics. Despite DeRozan’s impressive 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists, the Bulls suffered their second consecutive loss, falling 124-113 to the Celtics at the United Center.
The Bulls came into the game off the back of a tough loss to the Houston Rockets, while the Celtics continued their winning streak with a dominant victory over the Detroit Pistons. The last time these two teams met, the Celtics had handed the Bulls a resounding defeat in the NBA In-Season Tournament.
Despite a strong first half effort from the Bulls, where they trailed by only six points, the Celtics pulled ahead in the second quarter and maintained their lead throughout. DeRozan continued to lead the charge for the Bulls, but ultimately it was the Celtics’ offensive prowess that proved too much for Chicago to handle.
As the game progressed, the Bulls fought hard to close the gap, but were ultimately unable to overcome the Celtics’ strong performance. DeRozan was named the “Star of the Game” for his standout efforts, but it was the Celtics who emerged victorious with a 124-113 win.
Looking ahead, the Bulls will aim to bounce back from their two recent losses when they face the Washington Wizards at home. Meanwhile, the Celtics will aim to extend their winning streak to ten games as they take on the Atlanta Hawks on the road.
