The Boston Celtics defeated the Chicago Bulls 107 - 100 on Monday at TD Garden . The Celtics ( 3 - 1 ) handed the Bulls ( 3 - 1 ) their first loss of the regular season as they jumped out to a very hot start , holding a lead that grew to as high as 14 points midway through the second period . Then , Boston 's Jae Crowder went down with a sprained left ankle after scoring 10 points in 14 minutes , and from there , the Bulls went on a run to end the half and ultimately closed the gap to within three . The two teams stayed tight , but Boston was able to close out the game and win in the rematch over Chicago . After Crowder went down early , it was Amir Johnson who surprisingly came alive in the second half of the game , as he finished shooting a scorching 9 - of - 11 from the field and 4 - of - 4 from behind the arc . Johnson had only attempted one three through the first three games of the season . Isaiah Thomas matched Johnson 's 23 points while adding 10 assists for his first double - double of the regular season . For Chicago , Jimmy Butler reached 20 points for the second game in a row and for the third time in four games this season . He did , however , struggle shooting from the field , going just 8 - of - 21 overall Wednesday . On the other wing , Dwyane Wade continues to struggle since his 22 - point performance in the season opener . For the second straight game , Wade shot just 5 - of - 13 from the field , making him 10 - of - 26 over his last two games for just 27 total points . Up next for Boston , they will head to Cleveland Thursday to take on the Cavaliers , while the Bulls will head home Friday and play the struggling Knicks . The biggest standout from Wednesday 's box score was the shooting display put on by Amir Johnson . Typically seen as someone who does most of his damage inside the arc , Johnson hit all four of his 3 - point attempts en route to scoring a team - high 23 points on the night . Johnson hit just 10 total shots from behind the arc in all 79 of his court appearances last season . He also never scored 23 points in each of those 79 appearances . For the Bulls , Dwyane Wade continues to struggle after his 22 - point heroic performance in the team 's first game of the season . Since then , Wade has shot just 14 - of - 33 from the field ( 42 percent ) and 1 - of - 6 from behind the arc . Coming off a season where he shot the lowest field goal percentage of his career — 46 percent — Wade looks to be trending in the wrong direction , shooting just 41 percent out the gates in 2016 .
