Patrick Williams came off the bench and contributed 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Bulls, who were playing the first game of a three-game road trip. Chicago will play at Toronto on Friday and at Detroit on Sunday.
Ayo Dosunmu and Matas Buzelis each had 12 points for Chicago. Nikola Vucevic had 11 rebounds.
Sam Hauser (hip) and Al Horford (toe) didn’t dress for the Celtics, who avoided a third straight home loss.

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.
