The Bulls lost 108-97 to the Celtics on Wednesday and are now officially one game away from elimination. It was competitive, but was a strange and poorly played game by both teams.
This game was tough to figure out. Neither team seemed to be able to put a long stretch of good basketball together. The Bulls weren’t playing defense and the Celtics couldn’t hit shots. Wade had a triple-double, though you could argue his defense did just as much bad as his offense did good. Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas both struggled from the field but seemed to come up with timely shots.
