The Chicago Bulls snapped their four-game losing streak on Monday as they knocked off the Boston Celtics, ending their nine-game win streak, 121-107.
The Bulls got off to a hot start on Monday night as they outscored the Celtics by 13 heading into halftime as DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine combined for 23 points after 24 minutes of action.
In the second half, the Celtics tried to make a run but it was Chicago’s defense that was the star in this one as the activity and energy levels were at an all-time high so far this season.
DeMar DeRozan led the way with 28 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Zach LaVine bounced back from his benching on Friday to finish with 22 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals on 8-of-20 shooting from the floor, including scoring nine points down the stretch in the fourth quarter.
