Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops Jimmy Butler with 22 pts and 10 of 12 from line has last 6 Bulls pts in 4th quarter and only Bull to score last 5 mins
Important win IMO. Celts came at the Bulls and played both hard and well. Noah gets my game ball with Mirotic second. Sent from my Venue 8 Pro 5830 using Tapatalk
I agree. The Celtics came at the Bulls with everything they had. If the Bulls had lost they would've dropped 5 out of their last 7 and all sorts of hoopla would've started up about their slow start, lack of intensity, etc. They stepped around a puddle by winning this one.
Nice, balanced effort from the Bulls. After the sluggish 1st quarter they had this game in hand. An efficient game from Rose. I'll be happy with play like that as he gets his basketball wits and legs about him again. Noah looked like he benefited from a couple days of rest and rehab. Nice to see the Bulls win the turnover battle again. Butler keeps getting to the line. Brooks has been another great signing. He'll probably get a nice, 2-year deal from a team this next off-season and we'll have to find a replacement again.
He mysteriously played 27 minutes. But he only took 1 shot, which is the right number. I couldn't help but notice how white the lineup was at the start of TBF's video. We look like the Jazz, or perhaps more relevantly, the old McHale, Bird, Ainge, Walton Celtics.
