Boston Uses a Big 4th Quarter to Pull Away in Chicago

The Boston Celtics used a 4th quarter surge to defeat the Chicago Bulls 124-113 on Saturday night.

With just a 3-point lead entering the final frame, the Celtics used a 29-21 period to take down the pesky Bulls on a second night of a back-to-back.

Despite allowing the Bulls to shoot over 57% from the field, Boston's defense locked in down the stretch to pull out a clutchtime win in the windy city. Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics in the scoring column, putting up 26 points and 6 assists. JT struggled a little during the 2nd half but showed up in crunch time for some timely buckets and free throws to put the game out of reach.
