The Celtics reversed their tendency to lose close games. They had beaten the Pacers lately, but of course, the Pacers are another doomed team when it comes to solving balanced games. Today the rival had much more substance, because he was and continues to be the leader of the East, although, it must be said, a leader of the East without Zach LaVine Y Lonzo Ball.
They beat Boston 114-112 defeating their own demons, and now their streak (4 wins in 5 games) is the reverse of Chicago’s (4 losses in the last 5 games).
The Bulls led 106-112 with 1:57 remaining, but from then on they were unable to score a single point, and the Celtics closed the game with an 8-0 run culminating in the temperance of Robert Williams III.
Jaylen Brown He made it 110-112 and ‘Timelord’ did the rest by scoring 4 free kicks without fail in the last 31 seconds of the game. 9.7 seconds from the conclusion Nikola Vucevic he grabbed Williams III in the fight for the rebound, and that grab cost his team the game. The Celtics center scored the 2 free kicks for 114-112 and Chicago’s final attack did not come to fruition, with a triple missed by Nikola Vucevic himself and a double missed by DeMar DeRozan.
The Celtics (22-22) won with 6 of their players scoring 10 or more points, all their starters and Josh Richardson. Jayson Tatum signed 23 points and 12 rebounds, but with 8 of 24 in the shot; Jaylen Brown added 19 points and 4 recoveries, but with 0 of 5 from the triple; and Robert Williams III, the final hero, finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds and 6 basket passes.
But the important thing for the team was to recover for the cause Dennis Schroeder (16 points and 8 assists), who was coming off a terrible game, Al Horford (15 points and 8 rebounds in 30 minutes, with 7 of 11 shooting), who was installed in a very dangerous mediocrity lately.
Boston overwhelmingly dominated the rebound and knew how to play the end of the game. With Marcus Smart still out. But it is that Chicago played without Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso.
yes, the rookie Come on Dosunmu He started and completed an anthological match: 21 points, 10 assists, 9 of 10 in the field and 3 of 3 in the triple. This kid has wood.
Vucevic, who had an unfortunate end, shone before with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while DeRozan had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 final passes, but he was very poor in the shot.
The best of Chicago, its 6 turnovers and Dosunmu’s light start. The worst, his final inability in attack.
