Chicago Sky will lock horns against Boston Celtics in NBA 2021-22 on Thursday, 07 April 2022 at 05:30 AM IST
The Boston Celtics will head to the United Center for a matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
This will be the third encounter between the two teams this season, with both having one win apiece in their previous two matchups.
The Celtics are coming off a 144-102 blowout win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. Jaylen Brown led the way with a 32 point night, where he shot the ball at 70.6% from the field.
Jayson Tatum added 22 points for the team. The Celtics had control right from the tip-off and kept racking buckets to hand the Wizards a heavy loss on the road.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past couple of months. After a slow start to the season, coach Ime Udoka was able to turn things around with the Celtics by improving their defensive game and making some changes to their playing style.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been the main reasons behind their rise to form. After receiving a lot of criticism for underperforming to the expected standards, the young guns started to show their ability and since then have been difficult to stop.
Brown has an offensive rating of 109. 4, while Tatum has a rating of 113.2, which indicates how good they have been over the past couple of games.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls were one of the best teams in the NBA prior to the All-Star Break. However, things have not been the same for them since then as they have lost 13 of the 20 games they played during this period.
DeMar DeRozan has put up some big performances, but despite his efforts, the team has failed to find wins with consistency.
Their defense has not been up to the mark, which is considered to be one of the main reasons why they have failed.
Lonzo Ball has also been ruled out for the season, which is a big setback for them. With him out, the team loses a player that could handle the basketball and also make key defensive plays on the floor.
