The Celtics (3 - 3) knocked off the Bulls (5 - 2) 106 - 101 at the United Center on Saturday. Playing without Derrick Rose (ankle) for the second straight night, the Bulls struggled against a Celtics team that shot nearly 52 percent from the field. While Rose’s replacement, Kirk Hinrich, was held scoreless in 28 minutes, Aaron Brooks picked up the slack with 26 points (9 - 15 FG) off the bench. Pau Gasol chipped in 19 points and nine assists, while Joakim Noah added 13 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Jimmy Butler contributed 16 points and five rebounds in 38 minutes. The Celtics, winners of two straight since dropping three in a row, had seven players in double - figures, including all five starters. Evan Turner led the way, scoring 19 points to go with five rebounds and six assists. Kelly Olynyk added 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Jeff Green chipped in 14 points. Chicago, which had previously lost only to Cleveland, jumped out to a five - point first quarter advantage but were unable to stop Boston in the second, as the Celtics used a late 70 run to go into halftime with a 15 - point lead. That lead was upped to 16 by the end of the third, but Chicago would make a run in the final period. Down 13 with 4:18 remaining, Brooks spurred a 12 - 2 run to slice the lead to just three with one minute to play. After Olynyk missed the first of two free throws, Brooks hit another jumper to pull Chicago within two. However, Boston would shut the door on the comeback, going 7 - of - 8 at the line in the final minute to ice the game. Up next, the Celtics host the Thunder on Wednesday night. Chicago remains home to host the Pistons on Monday.
