Jaylen, Porzingis and Holiday out. Tatum just made his first shot of the 2nd half with 3 minutes left in the 4th. Bulls shooting 57 percent.
Celtics about to be up by double digits. Sheesh. – 9:59 PM

And Tatum gets a tech for chucking the ball at the ref’s legs. Been a tough third quarter for him. – 9:36 PM

Tatum, Brown and Porzingis are the headliners but let me tell you Derrick White is having a fabulous year-better than fabulous…break out season-he can flat out hoop. Can wait for the Ayo-White matchup. Ayo is averaging 30pts last 3 games. 6:45 pre-Bulls-Celtics @670TheScore – 11:40 AM
