The Boston Celtics defeated the Chicago Bulls, 111-82, at TD Garden on Wednesday night.

The Celtics (8-6) got off to a slow start against the Bulls (4-11) and they lost the first quarter 24-19, perhaps showing that their loss to the Portland Trail Blazers wasn't entirely on the rear view. However, they looked dominant in the second quarter and won 32-11, establishing a huge advantage that they would never relinquish. Boston then won the remaining two quarters (26-24 and 34-23, respectively), and sealed the deal comfortably. Despite the slow start, it was a huge win for the Celtics as it will certainly allow them to gain momentum going forward.

The Celtics showcased their balanced offense once again, as all of their starters scored in double digits but no player reached the 20-point mark. Jaylen Brown was the team's top scorer with 18 points and six rebounds, while Kyrie Irving filled the stat sheet thanks to 17 points, seven assists, six rebounds and two steals. Jayson Tatum had 14 points and six boards, Gordon Hayward chipped in with 11 points, four assists and four rebounds, and Al Horford delivered 10 points with eight boards.

Shaquille Harrison led the way for the Bulls with 16 points coming off the bench. Jabari Parker had 14 points with five rebounds, and talented rookie Wendell Carter Jr. contributed 11 points and seven rebounds. Zach LaVine filled the stat sheet, as he finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
