The Chicago Bulls are still far from perfect. Even at their peak, they could rarely compete with Boston on their home court. The Celtics look solid in the opening game and it will be extremely difficult to stop their winning streak. The team has an excellent game and is very aggressive up front. We think the visitors will be able to break down their opponent and quietly pull out a convincing win.
Boston scored an average of 120 points per game in its opening three games and is increasingly gaining momentum offensively. The Bulls are not too far behind their opponent in this regard and will clearly try to keep up, given the home status of the encounter.
In the last five face-offs in Chicago, more than 56.5 points have been scored in the first quarter.
The Chicago Bulls suffered a big loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third round of the regular season (96-128).
Zach LaVine was worth mentioning. He scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Earlier, the basketball players from Illinois defeated the Miami Heat (116:108) and lost to the Wizards (100:102).
Now, the Bulls will face a very tough test, as they will be visited by the last season’s finalists, who are still without a loss.
The Chicago Bulls dropped to 10th place in the standings.
The Bulls are averaging 39.7 rebounds per game this season.
