The Celtics scored the game’s first 10 points and led 26-23 after one quarter. Boston scored 41 points in the second quarter to build a 67-51 halftime lead and was up 96-76 after three quarters.
Boston’s lead peaked at 24 points late in the third quarter. Chicago failed to get closer than 16 points in the fourth.
