The Bulls edged the Celtics 105-98. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
