Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 27 points, scoring 15 in the fourth quarter as they succumbed to a 107-99 defeat to the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden. 
 
Chicago coach Billy Donovan praised LaVine who is a two-time Slam Dunk Contest champion, he was named an NBA All-Star in 2021 and 2022.
 
“The way he played gave us a chance to win and I thought our guys competed and battled,” Donovan said.
 
“But I thought there were some things we needed to clean up, like the rebounding and some of the straight-line drives and some of the late rotations.”
