The Bulls had a chance to topple the reigning Eastern Conference champion Celtics for the second time this season on Friday, but fell just short despite 46 points from DeMar DeRozan.
This was a performance reminiscent of DeRozan's most dominant stretches last season — in his production and also his share of the Bulls' offense. He dove deep into his bag of tricks to launch 23 shots and visit the free throw line 22 times, which marked the lion's share of the Bulls' 25 charity stripe trips as a team.
The game, overall, continued an early-season trend of the two-time All-Star lacking his typical comfort and explosiveness on drives and finishing around the basket. LaVine entered play shooting 44.1 percent in the restricted area so far this season, and in this one, did not attempt a shot in that zone, going 1-for-2 in the paint, overall.
