drought in the third quarter
Blink and they’re ahead by double digits against a team as strong as the Celtics. That’s exactly what occurred during the Bulls’ game against Boston. After scoring 10 points in a row in the third quarter, the Celtics showed off their potent offensive arsenal and never looked back. Chicago, on the other hand, struggled to score throughout that time, going only 9 of 24 from the field.
After all was said and done, the Celtics had built up a 13-point lead and were never in danger in the fourth.
