Just tuned in to see Ojeleye have his slammer blocked by Mirotic and OJ's balance lost as his hand hit the backboard and he took a flop reminiscent of the Hayward fall. No whistle from the ref prompting the boo-birds to be heard as Portis and Mirotic are being very physical and getting away with it once again ... no +1's for Irving as he gets mauled in the lane on lay-ups.
49-46 Bulls with 5+ mins to the half.

Al posts Markeden up on the low post and scores but again no +1 from the ref as Al was definitely fouled ... Noted as well by Tommy that the Bulls are getting ticky tac calls from the refs on the C's

Finally Markkanen called for a charge as Baynes hits the deck ...
Irving is your black sheep of the family cousin getting no respect at home as Markkanen clearly bumped KI with the body on that last no call ...
60-58 Celtics at the half and J-Lenny says the C's need to get tougher with the Bulls in the 2nd half and I agree. If the refs are gonna let it be physical then give them some of their own medicine!

Again, Baynes not getting minutes (just 8 mins) with only 6pts and 2 rbds.
Clearly he and Theis aren't quick enough (Baynes) or strong enough (Theis) to deal with Portis and Mirotic.
Ojeleye is back from the trainer and says he's ready but he must be sore ... He may have been Brad's best defender vs Portis/Mirotic with 13 mins until he hit the deck.

Tatum saves a steal right back from Bulls and dishes to Brown who gives Tatum the HO for a loud SLAM and the Garden comes to life!

Baynes for a bunny from KI ... 82-68 now as C's are reverting to their Q3 M.O.
As I type KI hits a three ... 85-68!

4 mins left in Q3 ... Tatum for three from corner!
88-70
Bulls are missing their shots this period ... and C's have control again ... Smart loses a basket on a call by the ref for pushing off with his arm ... Jeesh!

We've got Pondexter under wraps.
This looks like a W for sure.

Smart makes 2 FTs and at the other end falls to the deck as Mitotic misses his shot but got kicked in the silver bells from Mirotic ... No call by the refs. I thought a leg kick by the shooter was an OF now but I guess not if you're Marcus Smart.

We've got Pondexter under wraps. This looks like a W for sure. Pud It does now but it wasn't looking that way at the half ... Grant hits a prayer from the floor as time expires to make it 98-76 as Q3 ends. |
