Bulls get defensive yet again, holding the Celtics to 96 points

Daniel Theis knows what a great defender looks like.

The new Bulls rim protector reminds rookie Patrick Williams of that whenever they talk.

“I talk a lot to Pat, Pat Williams, because I think he can be one of the best defenders in this league with his size, with his physicality, with his wingspan,’’ Theis said on Monday.

The physical big man also knows what a great defensive team looks like.

The last two seasons alone, Theis and his Boston teammates were the second stingiest to try and score against last year and eighth during the 2018-19 campaign.
