The Bulls never recovered from the early deficit. Caleb Wilson led Chicago with 23 points, six of them on threes, with Norman Powell on 16, Matas Buzelis 14 and Josh Giddey 13. The team shot just 37.6 percent overall and 30 percent from deep, going 15 of 50 from three.

It was a fourth consecutive loss for Chicago, and a night when the perimeter shooting never came close to keeping pace with Boston’s depth.
