The Boston Celtics secured a 138-129 NBA Cup win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday, Nov. 29. Both teams showcased some high-level offense and questionable defense during the contest. However, an exceptional fourth quarter from Payton Pritchard helped Joe Mazzulla's team overcome their opponent.

Zach LaVine passed Kirk Hinrich for the most made threes in Bulls history on the way to 29 points against Boston. Nikola Vučević finished a team-high 32 but it wasn't enough against the Celtics in the Bulls NBA Cup finale.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Brown is out with a non-COVID illness while White is dealing with a foot sprain suffered in the third quarter of Friday’s win over Chicago. Brown averages 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists while White is the team’s best on-the-ball defender.

The Celtics will be shorthanded for Sunday’s clash of Eastern Conference front-runners. Boston ruled out Jaylen Brown (illness) and Derrick White (right foot sprain) ahead of their road matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
