Game Recap: Celtics look like they should against Chicago Bulls
The team was lead in scoring by Jaylen Brown with 18 points on 57.1% shooting. Following him was Kyrie Irving, who scored 17 while shooting a fantastic 75% from the field. Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart had 12 and 8, respectively off the bench.
The scoring was balanced, and unpredictable for a Bulls team that looked lost. Shaquille Harrison (who?) lead them in scoring with 16 points.
This win was important for the C's, who finally got a chance to play like they should be playing. We shot 44% from three, finally capitalizing on all those open looks we've been getting.
Defensively, the Celts were as lock-down as they have been all season. The team had 12 total steals and 5 blocks. Aron Baynes had 11 rebounds. Shit's looking good.
Not only was their play fantastic, taking advantage of an even-weaker-than-they-should-be Bulls team, they were visibly enjoying it. Amidst their slow start to the season, the team seemed a bit lethargic and weighed down by pressure. After an easy win, the camera showed the team laughing, as Tommy Weinsohn exclaimed, "it really looks like they're having fun out there."
