Zach LaVine Leads Bulls to Victory Over Celtics in Heated Matchup

LaVine's season-high 36 points and a dominant fourth quarter secure Chicago's win in Boston, setting the stage for a rematch Saturday.

Zach LaVine scored a season-high 36 points, helping the Bulls defeat the Celtics 117-108 in the first game of a back-to-back series.
Chicago outscored Boston 35-22 in the fourth quarter, fueled by a 17-4 run and several technical fouls on Celtics players and their coach.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 31 points, while Kristaps Porzingis contributed 20 points and eight rebounds despite recent heel soreness.
The Bulls extended their winning streak to three games, achieving the victory without Josh Giddey, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
The two teams will face off again on Saturday in Chicago, following a game marked by Boston's struggles from beyond the arc and Chicago's 19 made three-pointers.
