The Boston Celtics come back to defeat the short-handed Chicago Bulls in the final moments of the fourth quarter.
After Boston fell behind 112-106 with just two minutes remaining, they were able to go on an 8-0 run to go up 114-112 and secure the win. Boston made big plays on both ends of the court over the final two minutes.
Robert Williams III knocked down four straight clutch free throws to give the Celtics the lead and ultimately win them the game. Jayson Tatum played great defense on DeMar DeRozan for the final two possessions and forced him into making tough plays.
