The Celtics have struggled to start this hype-filled season, but Wednesday night’s game against the hurt/bad Bulls gave them a good opportunity to get right. It took a quarter as the Bulls actually grabbed a five-point lead after a hideous first frame (they led by as many as eight), but then the Celtics’ good players remembered they’re good and the Bulls stayed awful in a 111-82 shellacking.
Jabari Parker got the Bulls off to a nice start with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, but as was indicative of this entire game, he finished with 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting and five turnovers.
