Celtics pulverize Bulls 124-105 ahead of All-Star break
The Boston Celtics barely broke a sweat on Wednesday night, crushing the Bulls 124-105 right before the All-Star break.
Payton Pritchard scored 26 points and the Boston Celtics rolled past the Chicago Bulls 124-105 on Wednesday night in the final game for both teams before the All-Star break.
Jaylen Brown led the way for Boston with 24 points while new trade addition Nikola Vucevic shined off the bench, posting a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Six different Celtics players scored in double figures in the win, helping Boston push its lead to as many as 33 points in the blowout win
Joining Sunday's trade felt like a step in the right direction, as all signs point to the Bulls leaning toward developing their young core.
The Bulls already wasted precious time that they should have been spending on roster-building and player development. They aren't going to get it back, either.
