It’s Wednesday, January 29, and the Chicago Bulls (20-27) and the Boston Celtics (32-15) are all set to square off from TD Garden in Boston.
Boston continues to sleepwalk through the regular season winning when they sense a big moment or true challenge but bored quite often with their opponent and the stakes of the regular season. They are 16-12 since December 1. They lost to the Rockets Monday night in Beantown, 114-112. Chicago snapped a 2-game losing streak Monday with a 129-121 win at home against the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic was his usual spectacular self (33-12-14) but it was not enough to offset the Bulls’ balanced attack that saw seven players score in double figures led by Zach LaVine’s 21 points.
The Bulls are currently 11-11 on the road with a point differential of -3, while the Celtics have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.
