The Boston Celtics faced a disappointing loss to the Chicago Bulls, falling 117-108, despite the Bulls missing key players. This defeat marks the Celtics' second loss in four games, yet they remain second in the Eastern Conference.

With Josh Giddey sidelined due to injury, the Celtics have a chance for redemption in their upcoming rematch. Boston's injury issues have been significant, but they are mostly healthy now. A loss on Saturday would be their first back-to-back defeat this season, a scenario they aim to avoid.
