Hey, maybe Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish did come through the door. Not that they were needed, anyway, as Kyrie Irving, Jalen Brown and Jayson Tatum Wednesday did a pretty good job of slamming the door in the Bulls faces in a dominating 111-82 Celtics victory.
The Bulls actually led 24-19 after a good first quarter as Jabari Parker scored all of his 14 points. But yet another second quarter disaster in which the Bulls were outscored 32-11 pretty much turned the second half into a long distance shooting contest after the Celtics shot to a 71-47 lead with 4:33 left in the third.
