The Boston Celtics defeated the Chicago Bulls 124–105 on February 11 at TD Garden, controlling most of the contest despite a late fourth-quarter surge from Chicago. Payton Pritchard led Boston with 26 points, while Jaylen Brown added 24 as the Celtics shot 51.6 percent from the field and drained 18 three-pointers to overwhelm a Bulls team shooting just 46.1 percent. Boston's defense was the decisive factor, holding Chicago to 106.4 points per 100 possessions while the Celtics' offense rated at 121.9; the home team also dominated the glass with a 48–34 rebound advantage and forced 13 turnovers. The game unfolded in halves—Boston led 72–44 at intermission before Chicago clawed back with 35 fourth-quarter points, though too late to threaten the outcome. Rookie R.J. Dillingham paced the Bulls with 16 points and Matas Buzelis chipped in 15, but Chicago's supporting cast couldn't generate enough offensive firepower. The final tally of 229 points slightly exceeded the Vegas total of 227.5, reflecting Boston's efficient shooting night. The Celtics' balance and perimeter accuracy continues to define their season trajectory.
