The Bulls actually shot better than the Celtics, but were never in the game because of turnovers and rebounding.

Celtics ended up with about 19 more true shot attempts than the Bulls which was the difference in the game.

Bulls 105
Celtics 115
Final

Nikola Vucevic likely telling Derrick White "don't even think about dunking with the shot clock off and the game already decided"

We've gotten to the point of the Bulls broadcast where Adam Amin is doing impersonations of legendary Celtics announcer Johnny Most.

I was hoping to gain some intel on Josh Giddey by seeing how the Bulls performed while he was out. But when Chicago is so injured they are running out a lineup with Jevon Carter, Dalen Terry, Julian Phillips, & Lachlan Olbrich on the court, there's not much to learn.

The Bulls have zero chance.

Payton Pritchard comes off the Neemias Queta screen and look how far away Nikola Vucevic is playing. And Vucevic is a horrid drop center because he's one of the worst rim protectors in the league.

The Chicago Bulls were 5/28 | 17.9% from beyond the arc in the first half vs the Boston Celtics

Things that just feel right

These three teams have all played in the past three consecutive play-in tournaments.

Hawks have played in four consecutive play-in tournaments.

Every opposing team needs to do everything in their power to dunk late on the Bulls in a game that's already decided. Make a game of it to see which team can make Nikola Vucevic the most pissed.
January 4, 2026 at 3:39 AM
Best part of the fracas was former Thunder teammate Tre Mann grabbing Josh Giddey and play fighting while a nearby person thought it was real and tried breaking it up.
January 4, 2026 at 3:38 AM
lmao. Nikola Vucevic does it again. This time he's pissed off at LaMelo Ball for a late game dunk.

Hornets take down the Bulls

Jalen Smith exited the game for concussion evaluation and with Zach Collins injured, that left only Nikola Vucevic as the Bulls lone center.

Hornets outscored the Bulls 21-7 with no Bulls center on the court.
