The Boston Celtics had a clean injury report but failed to make the most of it, leading to a 128-114 loss to the Chicago Bulls who have been one of the hottest teams in the league to start the season. Jaylen Brown went nuclear in the second quarter, propelling a 10-0 Jaylen run, leaving him with 28 on the night. For the Bulls, DeMar DeRozan shredded Celtics defenders to pace the Bulls with 37 points.
After taking Saturday night’s game off against Washington to rest, Marcus Smart (16 points, 4 steals) came out scoring to the level we expected when he was officially named the team’s starting point guard.
