winning 129–112 over the Chicago Bulls in their first meeting following the All-Star break.
With 28 points, Derrick White led all scorers, followed by Jayson Tatum with 25.
According to team footage, White told reporters, “That’s the fun thing about this team.” “Most of the time, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis give me and everyone else the freedom to do what we need to do if we get it going.” Being able to be aggressive is made possible by those guys at the top. Playing on this team is enjoyable.
In addition to two thefts, White finished with three rebounds, three blocks, and five assists. In the Celtics victory, he hit 64% from the field, including a flawless 5-for-5 performance from downtown.
White clarified, “If someone got it going, we’re going to stick with them.” “I believe JB was on a roll during the second quarter.” We simply couldn’t get away from him. And that’s the whole exciting thing—every quarter, it can be someone new, and we’re all excited to go have a great time with it.
Luke Kornet, a center for the Celtics, enjoyed himself on the floor with a peculiar celebration that may be compared to karate chops or dabs. Despite not knowing what his partner was attempting to accomplish, White chose not to ask
White said to Abby Chin, as shown on NBC Sports Boston’s postgame television, “Let him do what he does.” “I’m not positive, but I believe it was a dab. He is the greatest, though. Yes, he truly is the finest.
In 14 minutes off the bench, the big man for the Celtics finished with 10 points and 4 rebounds.
With the victory, Boston’s record now stands at 44-12. On Saturday, they will travel to the Big Apple to play the New York Knicks in an attempt to continue their winning run.
